Coinbase brings 50x perpetual futures to Base App through Hyperliquid as social strategy unwinds

8/19/2026

Perpetual futures are where Coinbase wants Base App to live now.

The exchange announced Wednesday that eligible users can trade more than 290 perpetual futures markets inside Base App, with leverage up to 50x, through an integration with Hyperliquid.

The case for the feature is that perps account for roughly 75% of all crypto trading today, per Coinbase Head of Engineering Chintan Turakhia.

The read-through is harder in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, where the product is not available at launch.
