Coinbase Launches Nano Futures for XRP and Solana

Coinbase Derivatives has announced the launch of nano-style perpetual futures for Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL), set to debut on August 18. These contracts are designed to provide low-capital exposure to the derivatives market and will expire after five years.

Nano contracts allow trading of small fractions of the underlying cryptocurrencies, making them accessible to a broader range of retail investors. The products are fully regulated in the U.S. and will offer up to 10x leverage.

This launch follows Coinbase’s earlier rollout of nano futures for Bitcoin (0.01 BTC) and Ether (0.10 ETH), part of the platform’s broader strategy to expand access to regulated derivatives products in the U.S.

Unlike traditional futures, perpetual futures do not expire monthly. Instead, they remain active for longer durations — in this case, five years. Coinbase aims to attract U.S.-based traders who previously relied on unregulated offshore platforms for such derivatives exposure.
