Odaily Planet Daily News: The CFTC has approved Coinbase to become a derivatives clearing organization, applicable to fully collateralized futures, futures options, and swaps. After approval, Coinbase can clear the relevant derivatives itself without third-party involvement; the approval does not endorse any specific market, particularly not prediction markets.
Coinbase and Nodal Clear announced in June 2025 their plans to launch a futures collaboration backed by USDC, which is expected to be implemented. The CFTC has not disclosed the scope of the underlying assets for the relevant derivatives or the categories of swaps that can be cleared.
