Coinbase Prime now offers regulated access to global options and perps for institutions in the US and other eligible regions, with one unified liquidity pool shared by US and global traders. The exchange pitched it as bringing "global crypto markets, at home" to its institutional platform.

- Derivatives are offered through Coinbase Financial Markets, a CFTC-registered futures commission merchant and NFA member; Deribit itself does not offer services in the US, and coinbase notes trading involves risk
