Coinbase Pro to return; Deribit integration creates Coinbase Global Exchange
Coinbase plans to relaunch Coinbase Pro by year-end, offering trading in spot, futures, perpetuals, options, and equities. The company completed its Deribit integration, creating Coinbase Global Exchange, which connects U.S. and global crypto derivatives into a single liquidity pool. U.S. institutional clients can trade Deribit options and perpetual futures through Coinbase Prime, with retail access expected later this year. Coinbase acquired Deribit for about $2.9 billion in August 2025.
