Once upon an autumn day, the grand exchange known as Coinbase, a giant in the curious world of crypto, has decided to marry the eclectic tech titans with their peers in the digital asset realm. On a Tuesday that slipped by, they announced a glorious product, the “Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures,” set to arrive on the 22nd of September, much like a long-awaited guest at a dinner party.
This peculiar assemblage will feature the “Magnificent 7” titans-Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla-alongside BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, and, of course, Coinbase’s own proud stock. Each, bearing equal weight, as if to maintain cosmic balance. 🕊️
Tech stocks + crypto.
In the same, daredevil derivatives contract.
Coming September 22: bridging the old and new financial worlds.

Such a novelty! No US futuristic wizardry has ever dared to allure investors to the exotic dance floor of equities and crypto combined. The hope, as one might guess, is to offer investors an ease in traversing these two separate realms-like opening a railway connecting distant villages once isolated by thick forests.
The index, embodying the precision of a well-oiled machine, will operate as monthly, cash-settled contracts, rebalanced every quarter. The task of overseeing this convoluted affair has been entrusted to MarketVector. Institutional champions will claim their territories first, while the common man stands on the sidelines for a few more dreary months. The minutiae, including the companions for this journey, are promised soon.
Indeed, this marks Coinbase’s boldest step in the realm of derivatives since the acquisition saga of Deribit in May, a story rich with numbers and whispers. The world of derivatives has been blooming with vigor, as crypto volumes leaped by 132% in the year of our Lord 2024, soaring well past a majestic $20 trillion in the first half of 2025 alone. 🙌
Last Steps Towards the “Everything App”
The illustrious CEO, Mr. Brian Armstrong, linked the occasion to Coinbase’s grand vision of a jam-packed “everything exchange.” Earlier, with dramatic flair, he rechristened the humble wallet as the Base app, aspiring to construct an edifice where trading, payments, and somewhat nebulous “social features” converge.
We’re rolling out, with grandeur unseen, the first US futures, marrying top US tech stocks with crypto, in an elegant embrace.
More wonders to follow as part of the ever-expanding everything exchange.
Coming on September 22.

Thus, following the spurt in Coinbase’s derivatives marketplace-a place bustling with daily volumes breaching $5 billion for over a month-this move echoes in the corridors of finance. Meanwhile, the rival Kraken has cast its eyes on derivatives too, welcoming NinjaTrader into its fold in July, hinting at rivalries silently unfurling.
