Therefore, Coinbase has decided to start its international crypto exchange platform with perpetual futures contracts for Bitcoin and Ethereum. It means that these digital asset derivatives are only available for the international clients of Coinbase.

At the same time, they are set to offer around 5 times leverage for the cryptocurrency traders who are using the new international exchange option. Coinbase has confirmed the launch of an international exchange platform for consumers around the world.

However, this new platform is directed toward commercial entities in the global market. The new initiative is still awaiting a response from the Bermuda Monetary Authority or BMA.
