Coinbase Expands Perpetual Futures Collateral with Sei, Pepe, Bonk, and PUMP – A Major Boost for Traders

Coinbase just supercharged its perpetual futures trading—adding Sei, Pepe, Bonk, and PUMP as eligible collateral. Move over, traditional margin; the meme meets the mainstream.

More Assets, More Flexibility

Traders gain fresh optionality without liquidating existing altcoin positions. The move signals growing institutional acceptance of tokens once dismissed as purely speculative.

Volatility Ahead?

Expect sharper price action as leveraged positions multiply. More collateral types mean bigger plays—and bigger risks. After all, what’s crypto without a little adrenaline?

Trust or Bust?

While expansion boosts utility, it also tests risk management frameworks. Welcome to finance’s wildest frontier—where frog memes back million-dollar contracts.

DEX trading support

Coinbase’s move builds on an earlier integration that saw the top exchange add 12 cryptocurrencies as eligible collateral for futures trading. Those added in June 2025 include AAVE and NEAR.

Notably, the U.S.-listed company recently expanded the leverage cap for perpetual futures on the platform from 20x to 50x. The 50x leverage on supported assets is accessible to retail users on Coinbase Advanced and institutions via the Coinbase International Exchange. Support for non-U.S. perpetual futures is available in eligible jurisdictions.

Recently, the platform integrated perpetual futures for Horizen, UMA, and GMX on both the Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced.

In August, Coinbase announced it now supports decentralized exchange trading, with the product rolled out to select U.S.-based users. DEX trading allows users to discover and trade various Base-native tokens, including Virtuals AI Agents and SoSo Value Indices within the Coinbase app.
