Coinbase -DeDivates and Nodale Clear are working to integrate USDC stableecoin as security in regulated US futures markets aimed at launching the new framework in 2026.
If approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the plan is expected to mark the first time that a stableecoin is formally accepted as security for margined futures in the United States
COINBASE -SHANTING TRUST would keep USDC. Nodal Clear, a CFTC regulated and part of Deutsche Börse-owned EEX group, would handle clearing.
The two companies said they are working with US regulators to bring the offer to the market.
“Our obligation to integrate USDC as security reflects our dedication to improve trading functions for US market participants, improving operational efficiency through almost immediate money movement,” Boris Ilyevsky, CEO of Coin Baser Departments, said in a statement.
Coinbase proclaimed the speed as a “meaningful milestone” in his push to turn USDC into a “real cash equivalent.” Stablecoin, the second largest behind Tether’s USDT, is also set to be integrated into Shopify across the base.
The message follows Coinbase Derivatives’ partnership with Nodal Clear to launch around the clock Futures trade with BTC and ETH in the United States.
