Such products allow traders to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hedge<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> against their held physical assets, or simply make markets for \u2018price discovery\u2019 of those assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crypto futures are a multibillion-dollar game. Nearly $4.8 billion worth of Bitcoin futures traded in the past day alone, with tens of billions of dollars worth traded across altcoin futures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a spot-only exchange, Coinbase made $1.8 billion in Q1 of this year.\u00a0 But demand for futures makes for a lucrative market, and Coinbase wants a piece of that: Exchanges earn each time an asset trades on their platform (via spreads, premiums, or market-making)\u2014allowing for potentially billions of dollars in additional revenue each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the development comes a day after Coinbase raised $2 billion in a debt offering. The exchange saw over $7 billion in orders pour for just $1.5 billion of debt on offer earlier this week, with institutional bank Goldman Sachs managing the sale of the debt notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, Coinbase is said to be building other parallels to expand its business offerings, such as DeFi tools and similar products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It did, however, receive a rap from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last week for its intention to offer crypto lending products.
