Coinbase has launched nano-sized perpetual futures contracts for Solana (SOL) and XRP, offering U.S. traders up to 10x leverage in a regulated environment starting August 18, 2025. This move significantly expands the landscape for cryptocurrency derivatives trading within the U.S., impacting liquidity and market access for both institutional and retail investors. The new contracts are available with contract sizes as small as 5 SOL or 500 XRP, allowing for increased participation from smaller traders while operating under stringent CFTC regulations. Coinbase’s strategic objective in introducing these products is to redefine market access for US investors. This follows a successful launch of nano BTC and ETH futures earlier this year that significantly expanded institutional engagement and hedging options in the market.
