Coinbase Clearing LLC received CFTC registration as a derivatives clearing organization (DCO) on September 28, 2026.
Coinbase now has its own CFTC-registered clearing house, not just an exchange and a futures commission merchant.
The Commission order registers Coinbase Clearing LLC as a DCO under Section 5b of the Commodity Exchange Act. CFTC filings list the status as Registered as of today, with this scope:
• Fully collateralized futures
• Options on futures
• Swaps
The remarks on the CFTC industry-filings page state it is “permitted to clear fully collateralized futures, options on futures, and swaps.”
