Overview
- Each contract is sized at 0.01 BTC for bitcoin and 0.10 ETH for ether, reducing capital and margin requirements for position sizing.
- Interactive Brokers offers both monthly-expiring and perpetual-style futures, with the perpetual design intended to track spot prices more closely and reduce rollovers.
- Trading runs 24/7 with a scheduled exchange maintenance window on Fridays from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time.
- Access depends on client eligibility by jurisdiction as the products are listed on Coinbase Derivatives within a U.S. regulatory framework.
- CEO Milan Galik and Coinbase Institutional co-CEO Greg Tusar said the nano contracts are meant to broaden regulated access to crypto derivatives on IBKR’s multi‑asset platform.
