Coinbase will increase maximum leverage by 50 times in the international, lasting future

Crypto Derivatives Trading took a step forward as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong shared it on social media platform X on September 3rd. Armstrong posted: “We’ve increased our maximum leverage from 20x to 50x the lasting international future. Many traders have called for this update. Let us know what else we can add!” The move, framed in response to trader demand, has made it more directly compete with the exchanges that Coinbase has long offered highly leveraged products. For traders, this means dramatically amplified profit possibilities, but the risk of liquidation increased as even small price movements could wipe out the entire position. The update highlights Coinbase’s focus on catering to more sophisticated risk-bearing traders outside the US and its commitment to evolving the platform based on community feedback.
