Webull, a Nasdaq-listed brokerage, announced it will offer Bitcoin perpetual futures to its US clients starting in November. This derivative allows traders to take leveraged long or short positions indefinitely. The offering moves a product previously confined to offshore venues onto regulated US rails, overseen by the CFTC for clearing and settlement.

Webull is building its offering on the same regulated rails that approved initial perpetual futures contracts, including those involving Coinbase. This expansion into the regulated derivatives market is a significant move for the brokerage.
