Interactive Brokers has introduced nano Bitcoin and nano Ether futures contracts from Coinbase Derivatives, LLC on its platform. The products are available with monthly expirations or as perpetual-style contracts, with 24/7 trading accessibility.
The nano futures feature smaller contract sizes of 0.01 Bitcoin and 0.10 Ether, designed to lower entry costs and enable more precise position sizing. Perpetual-style futures are long-dated contracts structured to track the spot price of cryptocurrencies closely, reducing the need for frequent contract rollovers.
Clients can access these products alongside more than 170 markets worldwide through Interactive Brokers' single platform, which supports both traditional instruments and digital assets.

“Perpetual-style crypto futures have become popular with traders because they provide long-dated exposure and greater flexibility. By offering nano-sized Bitcoin and Ether futures on a regulated exchange, we are expanding access to these products with smaller contract sizes and lower margin requirements, alongside the broad range of global markets available on our platform,”

Greg Tusar, Co-CEO, Coinbase Institutional, said:
“We're pleased to collaborate with Interactive Brokers to expand access to regulated crypto derivatives. These nano sized contracts are designed to lower the barrier to entry and give more investors the ability to engage with digital assets in a secure and regulated environment,”
The contracts offer lower capital requirements and transparent trading on a regulated exchange.
