Coinbase launches US perps, no VPN required

Coinbase has made perps available directly to US customers — "no VPNs required," per a post from Shan Aggarwal amplified by Coinbase's main X account. This confirms the rollout of the single-stock perpetuals Coinbase had been readying for the domestic platform, after equity perps were previously live only for eligible traders outside the US since March and were the subject of an earlier SEC filing.

• The earlier tease from @RVanGrack gave no launch date; today's post confirms the product is on the US app
• Coinbase tied the news to its "Everything" positioning, quoting "came for the crypto, stayed for the Everything"
• Extends Coinbase's domestic derivatives line alongside options, prediction markets, and AI-agent perp trading
