The CFTC product register still listed the Single Stock Perpetual Futures Contract as \u201cApproval Pending\u201d when checked Sept. 22.<\/p>\n<p>The filing therefore gives Coinbase a public rule proposal, not a product that traders can access. It describes how the exchange wants the contracts to work if the outstanding approval is secured.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-564774\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-693bc80e-282b-4164-b216-9189a038a828.png\" alt=\"Infographic showing Coinbase single-stock perpetual futures progressing from an SEC filing to CFTC approval pending and a locked not-live state, with cash settlement and no share ownership.\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-564774\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-693bc80e-282b-4164-b216-9189a038a828.png\" alt=\"Infographic showing Coinbase single-stock perpetual futures progressing from an SEC filing to CFTC approval pending and a locked not-live state, with cash settlement and no share ownership.\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Coinbase starts CFTC-regulated perpetuals for US traders, offering 10x leverage and 0.02% fees<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<h2>Price exposure without share ownership<\/h2>\n<p>The proposal covers cash-settled futures on individual equity securities and ETF shares, including contracts with no fixed expiration date. A cash-settled contract resolves gains and losses through money payments instead of delivering the underlying stock or ETF shares.<\/p>\n<p>That structure would give traders exposure to changes in an underlying security\u2019s reference price without making them shareholders. The contracts would not deliver shares or convey ownership of the underlying security. They would provide a derivatives position whose value follows the referenced stock or ETF rather than the rights attached to holding that asset directly. Any gain or loss would arise from the futures position, not from owning and later selling the underlying shares.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter\" data-inline-newsletter=\"\" data-newsletter-placement=\"article-midpoint\" data-newsletter-pending-label=\"Joining\u2026\" data-newsletter-pending-status=\"Joining The Catalyst\u2026\" data-newsletter-email-required-message=\"Before sending, please provide your email address.\" aria-labelledby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" aria-describedby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-copy\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__inner\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__content\"> <span class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__eyebrow\"> <i class=\"fa-regular fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> The Catalyst <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__title\">What\u2019s moving crypto.
