Webull Expands Crypto Futures Access Through Coinbase Derivatives Partnership
The online broker deepens its derivatives push, giving U.S. traders exposure to Dogecoin, Solana, and XRP futures with CFTC-registered infrastructure.
Webull (NASDAQ: BULL) has expanded its crypto futures lineup through an ongoing partnership with Coinbase Derivatives LLC, a CFTC-registered exchange. The move adds Dogecoin, Solana, Litecoin, and XRP futures, broadening access to regulated crypto products for U.S. retail traders, according to Webull’s official press release.
Retail Access Meets Regulated Derivatives
The expansion marks the latest step in Webull’s effort to make professional-grade derivatives accessible to retail investors. Launched in March 2024, Webull’s futures and commodities platform already offers exposure to multiple asset classes, and this latest integration builds directly on that foundation.
“Webull users are always looking for smart ways to diversify and manage risk,” said Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull, in the press statement. “By continuing to build on our partnership with Coinbase Derivatives, we can provide customers with the tools to navigate the evolving digital-asset landscape.”
Expanding Coinbase’s Reach
Coinbase Derivatives, led by Boris Ilyevsky, has become a growing player in U.S.-regulated crypto futures. The exchange recently reported record open interest and trading volumes across both major assets and altcoins — part of a broader migration toward regulated venues over offshore platforms.
“We’re thrilled to see partners like Webull expanding access to the crypto economy,” Ilyevsky said in the same release, noting that smaller contract sizes and lower margin requirements allow traders to engage “without taking outsized leverage.”
Coinbase Derivatives operates on a 23-hour-a-day, six-days-a-week trading structure, offering free real-time market data to Webull users.
Retail Derivatives Adoption Accelerates
Webull is among the first retail brokers to provide access to multiple commodities exchanges, positioning itself as a bridge between mainstream investing and digital-asset derivatives. Its partnership with Coinbase underscores a larger trend: U.S. brokers are increasingly integrating regulated crypto instruments as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) strengthens oversight and institutional demand filters downstream.
To trade crypto futures, U.S. users must open and fund a Webull Futures account, with contract structures designed for retail-friendly position sizing.
Looking Ahead
Webull’s expansion illustrates how the next phase of crypto-derivatives growth is shifting toward regulated, accessible platforms, rather than offshore speculation. As futures markets deepen and margin requirements shrink, the retail-institutional line in crypto trading continues to blur.

The retail access angle here is pretty intriguing. Having Doge, SOL and XRP futures on a regulated platform like Coinbase Derivatives is definitely a step in the right direcction for legitimacy. I wonder how the margin requirements compare to offshore exchanges though, because that's usualy where retail traders get burned. Also curious if Webull's infrastucture can handle the volatility during major market moves, some of these alts can move 20% in minutes. Good to see more regulated options in the space though.
