Coinbase Australia Launches Perpetuals Contracts

As the Australian crypto market matures, traders are looking for more than just spot buying. With this launch, certified wholesale investors gain access to leverage trading via an expansive range of perpetuals, enabling trading across all market conditions. 

Building the Everything Exchange in Australia

The launch of perpetual contracts in Australia follows Coinbase Australia’s approval for an Australian Financial Services (AFSL) in April 2026, and is the first product launch under it. More broadly it signals our long-term commitment to the region. Coinbase now provides Australian traders with a regulated and licensed derivatives products suite to meet their growing demands. Whether you need the deep analytical tools of our advanced offering or a clean, simple interface to execute trades instantly, you have the flexibility to trade derivatives how you want with Coinbase.  

Product Details

Certified wholesale investors will gain access to institutional grade liquidity, advanced order types and API integration, with up to 50x leverage on 150 contracts.  

Expanding Access to Advanced Trading Strategies

By enabling perpetuals on Coinbase, we are allowing wholesale investors to hedge their portfolios, speculate on volatility, and access capital-efficient trading strategies. Coinbase is bridging the gap between professional-grade trading and ease of use. With 24/7 liquidity, instant settlement, and a "one-tap" transition from spot to perps, we’ve made sophisticated trading accessible.
