The nano XRP futures contract will represent 500 XRP and track the spot price using a funding rate mechanism that debits or credits open positions.

It settles in US dollars and expires in December 2030, with new contracts listed monthly. The position limit is 700,000 contracts, with a minimum price increment of $0.0001 per XRP.

For nano SOL futures, each contract represents 5 Solana tokens with a tick size of $0.01. It shares the same trading hours as the XRP product, settles in US dollars, and also expires in December 2030. Traders can hold up to 340,000 contracts.

The launch follows Coinbase’s earlier rollout of CFTC-regulated perpetual futures for US traders, which began with nano Bitcoin and nano Ether contracts offering up to 10x leverage.

In May, Coinbase expanded its 24/7 regulated futures platform to include SOL, XRP, and Cardano (ADA), diversifying its crypto derivatives suite under CFTC oversight.
