Coinbase Expands Derivatives Suite Amid UK Crypto Regulatory Push

UK lawmakers have urged banks to clarify their treatment of authorized crypto companies. This push comes as Coinbase expands its UK derivatives suite for professional investors.

Coinbase has launched a new platform offering perpetuals, dated futures, and options on more than 170 contracts spanning various assets including cryptocurrencies, commodities, equities, and indices. The move aims to cater to eligible UK professional investors seeking diversified investment opportunities.

Meanwhile, Robinhood's UK arm has secured registration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), confirming compliance with current anti-money laundering requirements for offering cryptocurrency services nationwide.
