Coinbase expands AI-agent perp trading with Deribit-powered global derivatives
Coinbase announced that global derivatives powered by Deribit are now live for eligible traders on Coinbase for Agents, letting AI agents research markets, build strategies, and place trades within user-set limits by connecting a Coinbase account to an AI platform. The update extends the perp trading for agents that Coinbase first shipped under the AiFi² banner — "an agent asked for perps. We shipped perps for agents."
- Covers global perpetuals and derivatives trading 24/7 through agents on Coinbase for Agents
- Follows Coinbase's migration of its international derivatives exchange onto Deribit infrastructure in October 2026
- Builds on Coinbase's AiFi agent stack (AgentKit, MCP, x402) for always-on machine access to markets
