Coinbase Launches Futures Trading in 26 European Countries

In a strategic expansion, Coinbase has rolled out regulated crypto futures trading across 26 European countries for the first time. This launch, executed through its MiFID II license, provides a regulated alternative to offshore platforms historically used by traders.

The exchange detailed Europe“>in its blog post a product suite including perpetual futures and dated monthly or quarterly contracts. A unique offering is the Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures, blending exposure to major tech stocks with crypto-linked equities and ETFs.

Selected contracts, such as those for Bitcoin and Ethereum, will offer leverage of up to 10 times. Additionally, trading fees can be as low as 0.02% per contract, funded in euros or USDC.

Consequently, Coinbase enters a market recently targeted by other major exchanges. Both Crypto.com and Kraken rolled out their own European futures offerings in May 2025.

Meanwhile, the launch comes after Coinbase reported a significant Q4 earnings miss last month. The company posted a $667 million loss, largely from a $718 million decrease in its investment portfolio’s value.
