Multinational brokerage, Interactive Brokers, has expanded its crypto derivatives lineup by adding nano Bitcoin and nano Ether futures from Coinbase Derivatives, giving eligible clients more ways to trade crypto-linked contracts through its global platform.
The broker said the new products include monthly contracts and perpetual-style futures that can be traded around the clock, offering a regulated route to manage crypto exposure with lower capital requirements and more precise position sizing.
The nano contracts are designed to be significantly smaller than standard crypto futures. Each contract represents 0.01 Bitcoin and 0.10 Ether, which Interactive Brokers said is aimed at widening access for clients who want to trade crypto derivatives without taking on large notional exposure.
Interactive Brokers also highlighted the appeal of perpetual-style futures, which are structured to track spot crypto prices and reduce the need for frequent contract rolls.
“Perpetual-style crypto futures have become popular with traders because they provide long-dated exposure and greater flexibility,” commented chief executive Milan Galik.
Coinbase Institutional co-chief executive Greg Tusar said the partnership is intended to make regulated crypto markets more accessible.
The broker noted that access will depend on local regulations, with some jurisdictions restricting who can trade crypto derivatives.
