Coinbase Pushes Boundaries: USDC as Futures Collateral Could Reshape Crypto Markets
Coinbase Pushes Boundaries: USDC as Futures Collateral Could Reshape Crypto Markets

Wall Street's old guard won't like this one.
Coinbase just fired a shot across the bow of traditional finance—filing to use its native stablecoin USDC as collateral in regulated futures markets. This isn't just paperwork; it's a potential game-changer for institutional crypto adoption.
Why it matters:
- First-mover advantage in regulated crypto derivatives
- Validates USDC's stability where it counts—in the cold, hard world of margin requirements
The kicker? This forces the CFTC to either acknowledge crypto's maturity or reveal their regulatory capture by legacy banks. Either way, the market wins—unless you're short innovation.
(Bonus jab: Meanwhile, JPMorgan still won't let clients use their 'JPM Coin' to buy coffee.)
