The new contracts represent 0.01 BTC and 0.10 ETH, reducing capital requirements and enabling 24/7 trading.
Interactive Brokers has added Coinbase Derivatives’ nano Bitcoin and Ethereum futures to its trading platform, expanding access to regulated crypto derivatives with 24-hour trading availability.
The new products include monthly expiry futures contracts and perpetual contracts designed to closely track spot prices. Nano Bitcoin futures represent 0.01 BTC, while nano Ethereum futures represent 0.10 ETH, reducing capital requirements and enabling more precise position sizing.
“Perpetual crypto futures have become popular among traders because they provide long-term exposure and greater flexibility,” said Milan Galik, CEO of Interactive Brokers, in a Tuesday statement. He added that the smaller contract sizes reduce margin requirements for eligible clients.
Greg Tusar, co-head of Coinbase Institutional, emphasized that nano contracts are intended to broaden access to crypto derivatives within a regulated framework. Coinbase Derivatives operates as a regulated futures exchange in the United States under Coinbase, which entered the derivatives market through the acquisition and rebranding of FairX.
The $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit in August 2025 expanded this focus and strengthened the company’s ability to offer options, futures and perpetuals. Interactive Brokers offers trading across over 170 global markets from a single platform and has increasingly integrated crypto products alongside traditional assets. Earlier this year, the company enabled 24/7 funding using USDC and signaled plans to support additional stablecoins from PayPal and Ripple.
