Jakarta, Pintu News – Coinbase recently announced the launch of its latest derivatives product, the nano futures contracts for Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL). The product is aimed at meeting the needs of retail traders in the United States by offering smaller and more accessible contracts.
Starting August 18, eligible traders can begin trading this contract through Coinbase Derivatives, a platform regulated by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission).

Nano futures are derivative contracts that are similar to regular crypto futures, but have a smaller contract size. This design makes them easier to use for ordinary traders who may not have a large amount of capital.
With more affordable contract sizes, nano futures open up opportunities for more people to participate in crypto derivatives trading.
The nano futures concept aims to appeal to traders who want to manage risk or try leverage in a safer and more regulated environment. This is an interesting alternative to the US market, where regulations often limit the availability of crypto derivatives.

The XRP nano futures contract offered by Coinbase will track the price of 500 Ripple tokens (XRP) per contract. These contracts will be cash-settled in US dollars, so no actual crypto exchange takes place. The contract is scheduled to expire in December 2030, but will be relaunched monthly.
Traders can hold up to 700,000 contracts, with price movements as small as $0.0001 per XRP. Meanwhile, each Solana nano futures contract (SOL) will represent 5 Solana tokens.
The price movement for this contract is set at $0.01. These contracts will also be settled in US dollars and have the same expiration date as the XRP contracts. The maximum limit a trader can hold is 340,000 SOL contracts.

The launch of this nano futures product is not Coinbase’s first foray into the derivatives arena. Previously, the platform has launched nano futures contracts for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), with up to 10 times leverage.
In May 2025, Coinbase expanded its product lineup by adding SOL, XRP, and Cardano (ADA) to its futures lineup that operates 24/7.
With a large community and high trading activity for Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL), it is expected that these new contracts will quickly catch on, especially among US traders who have had limited access to these kinds of tools. This marks an important step in the evolution of a more inclusive and regulated crypto derivatives market.
With the launch of nano futures for Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL), Coinbase has not only expanded its product portfolio but also opened the door for retail traders to engage in the crypto derivatives market. This move will hopefully bring more transparency and security into crypto trading, while supporting the growth and acceptance of crypto as a legitimate investment asset.
