Coinbase Institutional Says Stock Perps Positioned To Become Next Major Retail Trading Vehicle

Coinbase Institutional is signaling a significant shift in how mainstream retail traders might access financial markets by positioning stock perpetual futures (perps) as the next major trading vehicle.

In a post on X, David Duong, Coinbase Institutional’s global head of investment research, says that perps have evolved past simply being “isolated, high-leverage trading vehicles and are becoming core, composable primitives within DeFi markets.”

Perps – popularized by Arthur Hayes and BitMEX in 2016 – allow traders to maintain leveraged positions without fixed expirations and trade around the clock.

Duong says that the integration of perps with defi lending protocols could allow for broader strategies, such as “hedge layers for liquidity pools, serving as the basis for interest rate products, or acting as collateral in lending protocols with variable risk parameters.”

The analyst also says that perps will likely be integrated with the stock market, marking a massive development for the retail trading arena.

“We see a powerful confluence of factors positioning equity perpetual futures as the next major retail trading vehicle. As global retail participation in U.S. equities continues its secular rise, the market is poised for disruption by tokenized equities. Combining the 24/7 accessibility, censorship-resistance, and capital efficiency of crypto derivatives with the high demand for exposure to major global stocks (like those on the S&P 500 or Nasdaq), equity perps could become the preferred choice for a new generation of global retail traders seeking highly leveraged, low-friction access to traditional financial markets. These innovative derivatives are expected to transform how equities are traded outside of conventional market hours, specifically during weekends and nights.

In essence, perps are moving from the periphery of crypto trading to the core of composable DeFi, while simultaneously preparing to onboard a massive new wave of global retail capital seeking exposure to traditional assets in a more efficient way.”

Ripple unveils XRPL’s updated roadmap with plans to launch a native lending protocol

The post Ripple unveils XRPL’s updated roadmap with plans to launch a native lending protocol appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways A native lending protocol is scheduled for release in XRPL Version 3.0.0 later this year. Recent upgrades bring advanced features like Batch Transactions, Permissioned DEX, and upcoming zero-knowledge proof integration. Ripple on Monday published an updated roadmap for the XRP Ledger outlining new features designed to scale institutional decentralized finance. As part of the update, the team plans to launch a native lending protocol later this year to support compliant, low-cost on-ledger credit markets. The product is slated to go live with XRPL Version 3.0.0. The protocol will introduce pooled lending and underwritten credit directly at the ledger level through Single-Asset Vaults and the Lending Protocol specifications. The system will pool liquidity through vaults and issue shares that can be public or restricted, then use these vaults to support fixed-term loans with repayment schedules managed directly on-chain. While underwriting and risk management remain off-chain, institutions can add safety with first-loss capital or structure collateralized loans through regulated custodians. According to Ripple, the protocol is aimed at giving institutions low-cost, compliant credit markets that tap into liquidity from global investors. With XRPL’s low fees, fast settlement, and modular design, the team wants to make institutional DeFi more efficient and scalable. “For institutions, the appeal is clear: no financial institution will turn down low-cost capital if it can be sourced within KYC/AML standards. The lending protocol enables exactly that, pooling liquidity from a global base of smaller investors into institutional-sized loans while maintaining compliance,” the roadmap states. The roadmap also points to future integration of zero-knowledge proofs to enable privacy-preserving collateral management while maintaining regulatory compliance. Ripple said the deployment is under development, with confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens planned for Q1 2026. XRPL’s institutional DeFi roadmap is moving beyond token standards and compliance toward a native lending system. The next phase…
