Coinbase to Launch Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures: A New Multi-Asset Product for Investors

Coinbase Derivatives is launching a new equity index futures contract, the Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures, which combines traditional tech stocks with cryptocurrency ETFs. The product offers investors exposure to both innovation sectors and will be the first U.S.-listed derivatives contract to do so. The index includes the "Magnificent 7" stocks and Coinbase's own stock, along with two crypto ETFs. Contracts will be monthly and cash-settled, with each representing $1 multiplied by the index level. The launch aims to expand the company's product suite and bridge traditional finance and crypto markets.

Coinbase Derivatives is set to launch a groundbreaking new equity index futures contract, the Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures, on September 22, 2025. This innovative product combines traditional tech stocks with cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), offering investors exposure to both leading U.S. technology stocks and digital assets.

The Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures will be the first U.S.-listed derivatives contracts to blend traditional equities with digital assets. The index, which will be evenly weighted and rebalanced quarterly, includes ten components: the "Magnificent 7" tech stocks—Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla—along with Coinbase's own stock and two crypto ETFs: BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). MarketVector, a recognized provider of crypto and thematic indexes, will serve as the official index provider [1].

Contracts will be monthly and cash-settled, with each representing $1 multiplied by the index level. For example, at an index value of $3,000, the notional value of one contract would be $3,000. The index will be rebalanced quarterly to maintain equal weighting across all components.

Coinbase framed the product as a way for investors to manage multi-asset risk more efficiently while gaining exposure to both sides of the innovation economy—Silicon Valley tech leaders and blockchain-native assets. The company stated, "Equity index futures mark the next evolution of our product suite and pave the way for a new era of multi-asset derivatives" [1].

The launch comes amid growing investor appetite for crossover products that bridge traditional finance and crypto markets. Coinbase plans to expand the availability of these contracts to retail users in the months ahead, though they will initially trade on partner platforms.
