Coinbase announced it will launch perpetual futures contracts for Zama ($ZAMA) as it continues to expand its derivatives portfolio.
In a statement made via its X platform, Borsa announced that if liquidity conditions are favorable, $ZAMA-PERP contracts will be available for trading in supported regions after 23:00 on February 2nd.
According to the announcement, Coinbase will offer a multi-channel access model for different investor profiles. Retail investors in some regions will be able to conduct $ZAMA-PERP transactions through the Coinbase Advanced platform.
This platform targets more experienced users with advanced order types and risk management tools. Institutional investors, on the other hand, will be able to directly access perpetual contracts for $ZAMA through Coinbase International Exchange in eligible jurisdictions.
Coinbase’s decision to move $ZAMA to the derivatives market is seen as an indicator of the increasing interest and liquidity expectations for the Zama ecosystem in recent times. Perpetual contracts, offering leveraged trading without a maturity date, are in high demand for both hedging and short-term speculation. Therefore, adding a new asset to perpetual contracts has the potential to increase the market depth and trading volume of the token.
On the other hand, Coinbase, as always, drew attention to regional regulations, emphasizing that products may not be available in all countries. Users are advised to check the legal framework and platform terms and conditions in their region.
Market experts point out that the launch of $ZAMA-PERP trading could increase volatility in the $ZAMA price in the short term, but could strengthen its global visibility in the long term.
