Coinbase has announced the launch of the “Mag7 Crypto Equity Index Futures,” scheduled for release on September 22, 2025. The index will combine leading U.S. technology stocks, Coinbase’s own stock, and BlackRock’s crypto ETFs. This will be the first time a U.S.-based exchange offers a futures product that blends equity and crypto exposure.
In a blog post, Coinbase stated that this product represents a shift in its strategy to diversify beyond single-asset derivatives. The company emphasized that the launch is part of its broader effort to become an “everything exchange” offering access to both traditional and digital assets.
CEO Brian Armstrong confirmed that the new futures index is designed for use via partner platforms rather than the main Coinbase app at launch. Further details about trading platforms and access are expected closer to the launch date.
Composition of the Mag7 Crypto Equity Index
The new index includes nine assets, each accounting for 10 percent of the total weighting. The traditional stocks include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, Meta, Tesla, and Alphabet (Google). Coinbase’s own publicly traded shares (COIN) and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs make up the crypto portion.
The index will follow an equal-weight model, with quarterly rebalancing. Coinbase clarified that during regular market fluctuations, weights may shift temporarily but will reset every quarter. This ensures a balanced exposure between all the included assets regardless of price changes.
Coinbase noted that the even-weighted model offers traders consistent exposure to both tech and crypto sectors. This design is meant to attract institutional and retail investors seeking multi-asset futures trading in a single product.
Strategic Expansion Toward Multi-Asset Trading
This new futures product comes as Coinbase continues to expand its derivatives business. In May 2025, the company completed its $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit, a crypto options exchange. The deal added crypto options capabilities to Coinbase’s growing derivatives platform.
Coinbase also announced plans in August to introduce tokenized equities and prediction markets for U.S. users. The Mag7 index product is the first formal step in integrating traditional equity products into its trading system.
Other exchanges have also shown interest in U.S.-regulated futures. Kraken launched its own regulated crypto derivatives platform in July and announced plans to expand into other asset classes, including equities.
Market Response and Regulatory Considerations
Coinbase shares traded flat following the announcement, with a current price of around $304, according to TradingView. The company’s stock is up 22 percent year-to-date.
Coinbase said it will provide more updates regarding licensing, compliance, and trading availability through its partner platforms. The new product arrives at a time when regulatory clarity around crypto derivatives remains limited in the U.S., due to overlapping oversight from the SEC and CFTC.
