Interactive Brokers Expands Crypto Futures Offering with Coinbase Derivatives

Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, today announced the launch of Coinbase Derivatives, LLC nano Bitcoin and nano Ether futures contracts for trading on the IBKR platform. These new products are available with monthly expirations or as perpetual-style contracts, offering eligible clients a cost-effective way to gain exposure to cryptocurrency and manage risk within a regulated framework, with trading available 24/7.

Clients of Interactive Brokers can access more than 170 markets worldwide and trade both traditional instruments and digital assets from a single platform. The new Coinbase Derivatives contracts offer an easier way to manage cryptocurrency exposure, with lower capital requirements and transparent trading on a regulated exchange.

Nano futures are smaller-sized contracts, such as 0.01 Bitcoin and 0.10 Ether, that lower entry costs and allow for more precise position sizing. Perpetual-style futures are long-dated contracts that are designed to closely track the spot price of the cryptocurrency, reducing the need to frequently roll contracts. Together, nano contract sizing and perpetual-style features make these futures products more accessible and convenient for a wide range of traders.

“Perpetual-style crypto futures have become popular with traders because they provide long-dated exposure and greater flexibility,” said Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers. “By offering nano-sized Bitcoin and Ether futures on a regulated exchange, we are expanding access to these products with smaller contract sizes and lower margin requirements, alongside the broad range of global markets available on our platform.”

"We’re pleased to collaborate with Interactive Brokers to expand access to regulated crypto derivatives,” said Greg Tusar, Co-CEO of Coinbase Institutional. “These nano sized contracts are designed to lower the barrier to entry and give more investors the ability to engage with digital assets in a secure and regulated environment.”

Eligibility to trade in crypto-related products may vary based on jurisdiction.
