Coinbase to List BNB Perpetual Futures, Boosting Liquidity and Market Participation
Coinbase’s listing of BNB perpetual futures enhances its position in the derivatives market. The new product will be available on both Coinbase International Exchange for non-U.S. users and Coinbase Advanced for experienced traders. By offering BNB perpetual futures, Coinbase positions itself as a direct competitor to Binance, which already supports BNB futures. This addition expands Coinbase’s product range and attracts traders looking for diverse investment options, including perpetual contracts.
The launch of BNB perpetual futures allows traders to leverage positions, enabling them to control larger amounts of BNB with less capital. These contracts, which can be held indefinitely, provide leverage that can amplify both potential gains and losses. As more traders engage with BNB perpetual futures, participation in Coinbase’s BNB-PERP market is expected to rise, further boosting the liquidity and trading volume of the token.
With the introduction of BNB perpetual futures, BNB is expected to see increased liquidity and trading volume on Coinbase. As of March 28, 2025, BNB is trading at $630.26, showing a slight increase of +0.20% from its previous price of $628.97. In the last 24 hours, BNB has decreased by 2%. The price is currently hovering around the 50 EMA (Exponential Moving Average), indicating a period of consolidation. However, as the launch date for BNB perpetual futures approaches, volatility is expected to increase, resulting in heightened market fluctuations, particularly around the listing.
Changpeng Zhao Comments on Listing
Changpeng Zhao(CZ), founder of Binance, responded to Coinbase’s BNB perpetual futures listing. He stated,
“No one applied for this. Focus on building. Listing comes naturally. BNB.”
His comment suggests that Binance’s ecosystem and BNB’s growth are a result of its development, rather than a formal application for listings.
Some in the community, however, have raised questions about the lack of a formal application process. One user expressed concern, saying,
““Listing comes naturally”? Doors that open naturally are often already open for some, and locked for others. If there’s no application, who decides who gets “naturally” listed? True decentralization isn’t about not knocking — it’s about removing the doorman.”
This comment shows ongoing debates about the decentralization of blockchain networks and the decision-making process behind major listings like BNB perpetual futures on Coinbase.
The BNB-PERP market on Coinbase will be available to both experienced traders and those using Coinbase Advanced. The increased exposure of BNB perpetual futures on Coinbase will likely influence the broader crypto market, with more focus on BNB’s price movements.
