[00:00:57]Coinbase expands into precious metals with gold and silver perpetual futures.

[00:01:01]Now, why is this such important news?

[00:01:04]Well, this normalizes gold and silver in a different type of light. Coinbase is a massive exchange and even Coinbase is admitting that it's time to bring precious metals into the loop. They say that on their actual announcement, which I will be covering in the latter half of the video. This one gives more of an in-depth review on like what this all means, and then I'll go into Coinbase's actual announcement that happened 2 days ago on May 6th. So, here we go. Coinbase expands into precious metals with gold and silver perpetual futures. Coinbase has launched perpetual futures trading for gold and silver, marking a significant expansion of the cryptocurrency exchange into traditional commodities. Exactly what I'm talking about. traditional commodities and this is almost more like a a psychological effect on precious metals as well. Um almost validating them as something and I know that sounds silly because cryptocurrency should be the one that needs all the valid all the validating comparing it to something that hasn't real value but at the end of the day Coinbase is a huge exchange and them adding this just gives more people more eyes more investors more money coming into the commodity space. So, the new products are available to non US users through the Coinbase International Exchange with retail investors gaining access via the Coinbase app and website.

[00:02:22]Now, that is interesting to non US users. Now, I'm not sure if that's just in the beginning. I guess they'll they'll probably mention that in the actual announcement, which I will link below for you guys to check out, but let's just keep reading on. I I I do find that very interesting, though. So, what Coinbase's precious metals offering includes perpetual futures are derivative contracts that allow traders to speculate on the price of an asset without ex expiration date, which that's I have I'll I have some more to say on that in a second. So, unlike standard futures, they can be held indefinitely, making them popular among active traders. Coinbase's gold and silver perpetual futures are cash settled and denominated in USDC which is US dollar coin always pegged to a dollar. The company's stable coin. Now the move signals Coinbase's ambition to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem. That's exactly what I was saying, you know, and that's why this is such big of news.

[00:03:25]They're bridging the gap. Coinbase won't be the last. It's just the first. And usually when big changes like this happen, everyone else is going to hop on board. I'm not talking about Coinbase.

[00:03:36]I'm talking about all the other exchanges and pegging uh crypto to precious metals. So this move signals uh Coinbase's ambition to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem by listing precious metals alongside digital assets. The exchange offers institutional and retail investors a way to diversify their portfolios within a single platform. and these people that get that are getting into precious metals through Coinbase.

[00:04:03]It kind of plants the seed of gold and silver in the physical form as well.

[00:04:07]This launch comes at a time when demand for alternative assets is rising driven by inflation concerns and geopolitical uncertainty. Gold and silver have long been considered safe haven assets. While crypto markets have shown increasing correlation with traditional risk assets by offering both, Coinbase positions itself as a multi-asset trading hub. I actually made a chapter in my book about talking about this. It's called precious metals verse cryptocurrency. And a lot of that chapter I'm talking about the comparisons. There are a lot of similarities. The biggest difference though is one's physical, one's a digit on a screen, but there are both decentralized, right? They're both taking control of your wealth. There's no centralized system. You're not at the mercy of the government. Just like with cryptocurrency, you have hot wallets, you have cold wallets, you have hard wallets. You know, you you you're able to store your wealth offline without being at the mercy of a uh an ever collapsing, diminishing fiat-based system, which is the US dollar and gold and silver is the same. Now, the decision to limit the offering to non US users initially reflects the complex regulatory environment in the United States, which I that's exactly what I was figuring, but I'm sure they will work around that eventually. Coinbase has faced scrutiny from the SEC over its crypto products and launching derivatives tied to regulated commodities likely requires navigating additional compliance hurdles domestically. What this means for traders, for institutional investors, the new perpetual futures provide a way to gain leverage exposure to precious metals without the logistical challenges of physical delivery. That's the best part though. Retail users can access these markets with low barriers to entry through they or though they should be aware of the risks associated with leverage and perpetual contract funding rates. And yeah, this is not investment in my I'm not telling you guys to go buy up a whole bunch of gold and silver on Coinbase. I recommend the physical metal. And if you do want the physical metal, I have the best place for you.

[00:06:12]You don't have to go to Coinbase. You can get it in hand from a legit trusted place. It's Miles Franklin. Send an email to info@ milesfranklin.com.

[00:06:23]Let them know Slayer sent you weekly specials. Great pl uh great place. Andy Sheckchman's company. Get plugged in with the direct source. So for institutional investors, the new perpetual futures provides a way to gain leveraged exposure to precious metals without the logistical challenges.

[00:06:40]Retail users can access these markets with low barriers to entry, though they should be aware of the risks. The integration of traditional commodities into a cryptonative platform also highlights the blurring lines between asset classes. As more exchanges expand beyond digital currencies, investors may increasingly view crypto platforms as comprehensive financial services providers rather than niche trading venues. Here's the conclusion.

[00:07:08]Coinbase's launch of the gold and silver perpetual futures represents strategic move to diversify its product lineup and attract a broader user base. While currently limited to U to non US markets, expansion uh could pave the way for further integration of traditional and digital finance. Traders should evaluate the risks and benefits of these new instruments before participating.

[00:07:29]And yeah, I mean anytime uh anytime you get into anything, do your homework.

[00:07:35]Make sure you get the answers right. You know, do your research. Don't just watch one YouTuber talk about it. You and I always link the websites in the description. go to the website yourself, do all of that, right? So, here's um some good questions. What are perpetual futures? Perpetual futures are derivative contracts that allow traders to speculate on asset prices without an expiration date. They use a funding rate mechanism to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset spot price. That's going to be a little tricky. I I mean, I guess they already do that with crypto. I mean in in crypto is 24/7 365. It's not like the market shut down Friday. Uh so anyways, who can trade gold and silver perpetual futures?

[00:08:21]They already we already talked about that. Why is Coinbase offering? Well, they already talk about that in the actual um announcement that we will go into now. So the future of gold and silver trading is on Coinbase. Coinbase has launched gold and silver perpetual futures for eligible non US traders, bringing two of the world's most established store value assets into the crypto derivatives ecosystem. Coming soon, gold and silver futures on Coinbase will move 24/7 trading for eligible US traders. Oh, so it will. So coming soon, gold and silver futures on Coinbase will move to 247 trading for eligible US traders, aligning press metals with always um on nature of crypto markets for the first time in US futures history. So they are it is live right now. Okay, so it's live right now for international, but coming soon it will be in the United States. That's what I figured. Hope I'm glad they they answered that. So um okay so Coinbase launched silver perpetual feature for eligible traders outside the USA available institution through Coinbase international exchange and then retail traders through Coinbase and the Coinbase app is supported jurisdictions.

[00:09:37]They're designed to make 247 commodity exposure as accessible and capital efficient as trading crypto perks.

[00:09:45]Uh so they have the products gold and silver. um no expiry or rollover settled in USDC and if you guys don't know USDC which I mentioned is US dollar coin but you get the USDC and then on Coinbase you sell the USDC to USD and you take the USD to transfer to PayPal or your bank account.

[00:10:10]People always wonder that like how do I cash out my Bitcoin? Well, you sell your Bitcoin and in this case it would be to USDC. You sell the USDC to USD. A lot of times you can just take the Bitcoin to USD and then you sell it. But in this case USDC, which a lot of times actually USDC is very beneficial because it is pegged to a dollar. You don't have to you can hold crypto without worrying about the price fluctuating. If you want to keep it like on an exchange like Coinbase. Anyways, um so yeah, this is very interesting. This is very interesting for the US. It is coming soon. Um so why gold and silver right now? Gold and silver have served as cornerstones for the global financial system for centuries. Today, they remain among the largest and most widely traded traded assets in the world. Estimated more than 13 trillion, silver at roughly 1.4 trillion.

[00:11:01]Um, so yeah. So, however, access to traditional gold and silver markets has historically come meaningful barriers.

[00:11:08]Higher minimum contract sizes. Yeah, they're talking about like the COMX, right? you have to I mean those are huge you know huge entry points restricted trading hours that's true as well this would be a 235 or yeah they're talking about what I mentioned you know Friday and then uh Monday but this is 247 you have access specialized brokerage accounts operational overhead which you don't really have to do that I mean you can just buy gold and silver in the physical form but I know what they're saying they're just trying to throw in different points from different angles you could take um so Yeah.

[00:11:43]Um the next frontier is commodities.

[00:11:45]Wow. First quarter CD saw over 52 billion in notional volume across traditional commodity futures.

[00:11:54]7.6% of all contracts traded that quarter. So yeah, they're hopping on the precious metals bandwagon, the commodities bandwagon. Anyways, um yeah, I think that's some huge news.
