Coinbase Expands Crypto Futures Trading to 26 European Countries Coinbase has launched regulated crypto futures trading in 26 European countries, marking a significant step in its global expansion. The cryptocurrency exchange now allows traders to access derivatives products within a fully compliant framework under the MiFID-licensed regulations. This move provides European users with a safer, regulated alternative to offshore exchanges, which many traders had previously relied on. The new offering is available through Coinbase Advanced, the company’s high-performance trading interface. Eligible users in countries such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands can trade futures linked to major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Additionally, traders can access innovative products such as the Magnificent 7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures, which combine exposure to top tech stocks with crypto-linked equities. Coinbase operates these products through its MiFID-registered European entity, ensuring full compliance with EU financial regulations. The platform offers two types of cash-settled futures contracts: perpetual-style futures with five-year expiries, hourly funding, and daily settlement, and dated monthly or quarterly futures marked to market daily and cash-settled at expiration. Traders can use up to 10x leverage on select crypto and equity-index contracts, with fees starting as low as 0.02% per contract. Analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on Coinbase’s stock, based on 17 Buy recommendations, four Holds, and two Sells in the past three months. The average price target of $264.43 per share suggests a 33.94% upside potential.#netherlands #france #coinbase #mifid #germany
