By introducing nano Bitcoin and nano Ethereum futures through Coinbase Derivatives, Interactive Brokers has increased the scope of its cryptocurrency business. Retail and institutional traders can now more easily access regulated cryptocurrency futures due to the reduced entry fees caused by the smaller contract sizes. Trading will be available 24/7.
CEO Milan Galik said perpetual-style futures have gained popularity due to their flexibility and long-dated exposure. The new contracts allow investors to manage crypto positions alongside stocks and bonds within a single account.
The launch reflects growing traditional finance interest in digital assets. Although Interactive Brokers’ stock dipped slightly after the announcement, the move strengthens its position in the expanding crypto derivatives market as institutional adoption continues to grow.
