Coinbase Secures CFTC Clearing Registration, Expanding U.S. Derivatives

Coinbase has secured clearing registration with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, expanding the exchange’s regulated infrastructure for crypto-related derivatives and clearing services in the United States. The registration allows Coinbase to clear trades under the CFTC’s oversight. The agency regulates derivatives and commodities, including contracts tied to cryptocurrencies. The move gives Coinbase a broader role in regulated digital-asset markets as the company expands services connected to trading and settlement. It also places the exchange within a wider push to integrate stablecoins into financial-market infrastructure.
