Coinbase outlined a series of platform and infrastructure updates completed during May, highlighting new derivatives products, expanded institutional services, and additional Base network tools. According to the company, the developments included regulated crypto perpetual futures in the United States, a partnership with Standard Chartered, and a larger role in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
According to Coinbase, it became the first regulated company to offer global crypto perpetual futures and options to U.S. traders after receiving approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The exchange said the rollout provides access to Deribit's crypto derivatives liquidity, including more than $31 billion in Bitcoin options open interest. Separately, Coinbase launched gold and silver perpetual futures for eligible markets outside the United States, with U.S. futures planned later.
At the same time, Coinbase announced a partnership with Standard Chartered. Through Coinbase Prime, institutional clients can now fund accounts using AUD, SGD, CAD, CHF, EUR, and GBP.
Beyond trading products, Coinbase introduced several updates tied to its Base blockchain network. The company launched Base MCP, allowing AI agents to connect with Base accounts and perform onchain actions, including swaps and portfolio management.
According to Coinbase, Base Azul also went live on mainnet, bringing an independent network upgrade aligned with Ethereum specifications. In addition, Coinbase Developer Platform integrated wallet infrastructure into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to support agent payments and spending controls.
The company also said batch settlement became available through x402, allowing multiple API transactions to settle together.
Coinbase confirmed it became the official USDC treasury deployer for Hyperliquid and increased its staked HYPE position. The company also launched SOL-backed loans, allowing eligible users to borrow up to $100,000 in USDC without selling their holdings.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted the month’s milestones, including derivatives expansion, the Hyperliquid partnership, precious metals products, and broader institutional fiat access.
