Coinbase Files to List Single-Stock Perps on Apple, Tesla and Nvidia

60-second summary

Coinbase files a request with the CFTC to list single‑stock perpetual contracts on Apple, Tesla and Nvidia, giving U.S. traders 24‑hour, five‑day‑a‑week leveraged exposure without owning the shares. The filing cites demand for crypto‑style derivatives and aims to capture retail interest in high‑volatility equities, potentially expanding Coinbase’s revenue streams and intensifying competition in the U.S. derivatives market.

The filing seeks CFTC approval for contracts giving US traders 24/5 leveraged exposure to individual stocks without ownership.
