Institutional demand rises as Coinbase expands derivatives and tokenized yield

Coinbase launched stock perpetual futures contracts for non-U.S. traders, offering leveraged trading on major U.S. equities and ETFs, with up to 10x leverage on stocks and 20x on ETFs, and cash settlement in USDC. Coinbase Asset Management, in collaboration with Apex Group, has tokenized the Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund on the Base blockchain to provide institutional investors with on-chain access and compliance options. Ongoing regulatory developments in the U.S. may potentially affect stablecoin yield programs, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes persistent technical weakness in Coinbase. The price is stuck below its 200-day moving average at $284.05 and has lost 2.39% today, adding to pressure. He observes mixed momentum signals, with daily oscillators turning overbought and intraday bias remaining negative. Regulatory risk is still unresolved, limiting any lasting upside from recent product news. "Current volatility and uncertain regulation do not support bullish positions here — I see a higher risk of further declines if $197 breaks," Kharitonov concludes.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees strong opportunity for Coinbase’s growth. He believes the launch of perpetual futures and institutional blockchain products supports the company’s expansion and institutional access. Macro developments offer pivotal setups, even as short-term volatility persists. "Bullish structure remains intact — with regulatory clarity, further upside and new highs are likely in the coming weeks," Karapetjanc asserts.

Conflicted momentum as short-term overbought signals clash with daily trend

Momentum readings on the daily frame are mixed: MACD shows bullish bias while ADX indicates a weak, non-trending market. Both RSI (55.23) and CCI (50.08) are neutral to mildly positive, whereas Stoch RSI and BBP suggest the market is overbought, showing divergence and short-term caution. AO is bullish and aligned with the prevailing short-term trend. The current session is negative, with the price slipping 2.39% and no gap between yesterday’s close and today’s open. Price action is near the day’s low, showing moderate volatility and ongoing pressure after the open. Intraday momentum is conflicted, as short-term indicators warn of overbought conditions while daily momentum remains upward-oriented.

Previously it was reported that Coinbase has expanded its offerings beyond crypto by launching perpetual futures on U.S. equities and introducing tokenized fund products for institutional access. As the stock faces technical pressure and shifting momentum signals, traders should watch the $197 support area closely, as a break below this level could trigger a sharper move toward lower support zones.
