Coinbase has received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to operate Coinbase Clearing LLC as a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO). This new clearinghouse will handle fully collateralized futures, options on futures, and swaps using USDC as collateral, enabling 24/7 settlement. The registration completes Coinbase's regulated U.S. derivatives infrastructure, allowing it to clear and settle contracts internally while continuing to use external partners for margined derivatives and planned single-stock perpetual contracts. Coinbase plans to expand its fully collateralized derivatives offerings but has not announced specific product launches or timelines yet.
