Coinbase and Nodal Clear derivatives are working to integrate the stablecoin USDC as a guarantee on regulated American term markets, aimed at launching the new framework in 2026.
If it is approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the plan should mark the first time that a Stablecoin is officially accepted as a guarantee for marginal term contracts in the United States
Coinbase Custody Trust would hold the USDC. Nodal Clear, a regulated CFTC and part of the EXE group belonging to Deutsche Börst, would manage compensation.
The two companies said they were collaborating with American regulators to market the offer.
“Our commitment to integrate the USDC as a guarantee reflects our dedication to improving trading capacities for participants in the American market, improves operational efficiency thanks to an almost instant monetary movement,” said Boris Ilyevsky, CEO of Coinbase Derivatives, in a press release.
Coinbase presented this decision as a “significant step” in its thrust to transform the USDC into “a real equivalent into cash”. The Stablecoin, the second largest behind the Tether USDT, should also be integrated into Shopify above the base.
The announcement follows the partnership of Coinbase derivatives with Nodal Clear to launch 24-hour trading of BTC and ETH in the United States.
