Webull Taps Coinbase for Retail Crypto Futures

Webull, a digital investment platform, partnered with Coinbase Derivatives to offer crypto futures to US retail investors. The move aims to offer traders access to Bitcoin and Ethereum futures.

Access to Crypto Futures

Webull’s collaboration with Coinbase Derivatives aims to bridge the gap in the market for retail investors. Futures contracts for Bitcoin (BTI), nano Bitcoin (BIT), Ethereum (ETI), and nano Ether (ET) are expected to be soon available directly on the Webull platform.

By offering smaller-size contracts, the platform enables investors to diversify portfolios with reduced margin requirements. Coinbase Derivatives provides 23/6 trading access, real-time market data, and nano-sized contracts designed specifically for retail investors. These features lower the barriers to entry for crypto futures, aligning with Webull’s mission to provide user-friendly investment options.

Commenting about the collaboration, Anthony Denier, the Group President and US CEO of Webull, said: “Integrating Coinbase Derivatives' regulated and reliable framework into the Webull platform will open up more opportunities for Webull users to gain exposure to digital assets. We take pride in extending advanced financial products and services to a wider audience of retail investors.”

Portfolio Diversification

Retail traders increasingly seek exposure to digital assets, and Webull’s offering enables diversification through regulated channels. With the inclusion of Coinbase Derivatives, users reportedly have access to tools and trading structures designed for flexibility and ease of use.

According to Webull, users must now open and fund a futures account to begin trading crypto futures. This offering will be rolled out to US users in the coming months, further solidifying Webull’s role as a pioneer in retail-friendly financial products.

The new development comes as Coinbase expands its crypto listings. The exchange recently added Pepe, a meme token created from a frog internet meme that gained popularity in the early 2000s. The long-awaited listing followed a market rally that drove most cryptocurrencies to unprecedented levels.

Besides that, Coinbase and Visa introduced real-time crypto deposits via Visa debit cards last month. The service aims to offer instant access to digital currencies for US and EU customers. On the platform, users can deposit funds instantly into their Coinbase accounts.
