Coinbase is finally rolling all trading on a single regulated platform, Coinbase Everything Exchange. It completed its Deribit platform integration and brought US and global crypto derivatives liquidity together for the first time. Announced October 7, 2026, on its blog and X, it led to the formation of Coinbase Global Exchange.
The Coinbase Everything Exchange held over 30 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin options open interest on September 30 and handled over $1 trillion in volume last year via Deribit. In the next few weeks, the Coinbase Everything Exchange will release crypto options, spot margin, and unified portfolios, and by year-end will relaunch Coinbase Pro with spot, futures, options, perps, and equities. The integration fills a gap where derivatives accounted for nearly 80 percent of volume while US traders lacked compliant access.
Global Liquidity Comes Under One US-Regulated Roof
For many years, US institutions relied on offshore entities and fragmented venues to access global options and perpetuals. That changes with the Coinbase Everything Exchange under CFTC guidance issued in May 2026, where Coinbase Financial Markets, a Futures Commission Merchant regulated by the National Futures Association, will provide US clients access to international liquidity that Coinbase says only its regulatory standing meets. Via the Coinbase Everything Exchange, US clients can now trade Deribit’s full suite of options and perps through Coinbase Financial Markets.
