Interactive Brokers has added nano Bitcoin and Ether futures from Coinbase Derivatives to its trading platform, expanding access to regulated crypto derivatives products with 24/7 trading capabilities.
The new products include monthly expiry futures and perpetual contracts designed to closely track spot prices. Nano Bitcoin contracts represent 0.01 BTC, while nano Ether contracts correspond to 0.10 ETH, helping to reduce capital requirements and allowing investors to allocate positions more flexibly.
Interactive Brokers CEO Milan Galik stated that perpetual crypto futures are becoming increasingly popular due to their high flexibility and long-term accessibility. He emphasized that the smaller contract size also helps reduce margin requirements for eligible clients.
Greg Tusar, Co-Head of Coinbase Institutional, said that nano contracts were developed to expand access to crypto derivatives within the framework of regulated US law.
Coinbase Derivatives now operates as a regulated US futures exchange after Coinbase acquired and rebranded FairX to enter the derivatives market. The $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit in August 2025 further strengthens this strategy, enabling Coinbase to expand its offerings of options, futures, and perpetual contracts.
Interactive Brokers currently offers trading on more than 170 global markets through a single platform and is increasing integration of crypto-related products alongside traditional assets. Earlier this year, the company launched 24/7 deposits and withdrawals using USDC and announced plans to support additional stablecoins from PayPal and Ripple, as well as considering issuing its own stablecoin.
