Coinbase Files SEC Notices for U.S. Single-Stock Perpetual Trading

• Coinbase filed Form 1-N and Form BD-N notices with the SEC as it prepares for a potential U.S. stock-perpetual offering.
• The exchange already offers leveraged stock perpetual futures to eligible non-U.S. customers, covering major U.S. stocks and ETFs.

Coinbase, America’s leading regulated centralized crypto exchange, has taken a regulatory step toward bringing single-stock perpetual contracts to the U.S. market by filing notice registrations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its derivatives exchange and brokerage business.

The crypto exchange confirmed the move in a post on X on September 3, saying it is working to bring single-stock perpetuals, also known as “stock perps,” to the United States. The company said it filed SEC-notice registrations for its derivatives exchange and broker and plans to work with the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The filings, dated September 1, cover two Coinbase entities. Coinbase Derivatives, LLC submitted a Form 1-N, while Coinbase Financial Markets, Inc. filed a Form BD-N, according to copies of the notices.

Coinbase Expands Its Perpetual Products

Single-stock perpetual contracts are derivatives that track the price of individual shares without requiring traders to own the underlying stocks. Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts do not have a fixed expiration date.

Meanwhile, Coinbase already offers stock perpetual futures to eligible customers outside the U.S. The company launched the products in March 2026, giving traders access to 24/7 leveraged exposure to U.S. stocks through its regulated derivatives platform.

The non-U.S. contracts include exposure to major companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Tesla. The contracts are cash-settled in USDC, with leverage of up to 10 times for individual stock contracts and up to 20 times for ETF products.

For U.S. customers, however, the process is still underway. Coinbase’s filings are regulatory notices and do not mean that American traders can begin using the products immediately. The company still needs to complete the applicable regulatory process before launching the contracts in the country.

The move is part of Coinbase’s wider push to expand its derivatives business and bring more financial products into the U.S. market. The company said it will continue working with the SEC and CFTC as it seeks to move the products onshore.
