Coinbase Launches First US Futures Product Combining Tech Giants and Crypto ETFs

Coinbase Derivatives launched its Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures on September 22, marking the first US-regulated futures product to combine exposure to traditional equities and crypto exchange-traded funds. The San Francisco-based crypto exchange expanded its derivatives offerings with this hybrid product that tracks both the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks and crypto assets. 

The futures contract is based on the MarketVector Mag7 Plus Crypto Index, which provides exposure to major technology companies including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, and Nvidia, alongside crypto ETFs. Coinbase Derivatives described the product as offering "diversified exposure" at the intersection of traditional finance and crypto innovation.

The launch represents Coinbase's strategic expansion into equity derivatives, diversifying beyond its core crypto futures offerings. The company operates Coinbase Derivatives Exchange as a regulated platform for institutional and sophisticated retail traders, providing futures contracts across various digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major cryptocurrencies.

Coinbase positioned the new futures as addressing demand from traders seeking exposure to both asset classes without managing separate positions. The company noted that the product allows investors to capitalize on correlations and divergences between traditional tech equities and crypto markets. 

The launch follows broader industry trends toward hybrid financial products that bridge traditional and digital asset markets. Several major exchanges have introduced similar cross-asset products as institutional demand grows for integrated exposure to both technology stocks and crypto assets.
