Coinbase brings global crypto derivatives liquidity to US with Deribit integration
Latest News
Published: Oct 7, 2026
US institutions will gain access to Deribit’s options and perpetual futures through Coinbase, with US retail options expected later this year.
Coinbase has completed its integration of derivatives exchange Deribit, opening a regulated route for eligible US customers to global crypto derivatives markets historically unavailable to them.
The exchange announced Wednesday that the integration combines its international derivatives business with Deribit, allowing eligible US customers access that liquidity through Coinbase Financial Markets, its derivatives unit regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Coinbase International Exchange balances and positions were migrated to Deribit on October 1st.
According to Coinbase, crypto derivatives account for roughly 80% of global crypto trading volume, but US traders previously lacked a regulated path to offshore markets. This changed in May when the CFTC issued guidance allowing Coinbase Financial Markets to connect US clients to these markets.
US institutional clients will now be able to access Deribit’s options and perpetual futures through both Coinbase Prime and Coinbase Financial Markets. Options through Coinbase Prime are expected in coming weeks, followed by eligible non-US retail traders access later this year, with US retail access anticipated subsequently.
