GoKawiilWebull to Launch Bitcoin Perpetual Futures for US Clients in November
Webull announced on October 20 that it will offer Bitcoin perpetual futures to its roughly 6 million US clients starting in November. The product, pioneered by crypto exchanges, lets traders hold leveraged long or short positions with no expiration date, using a funding-rate mechanism to keep contract prices aligned with spot Bitcoin. Webull did not disclose specific funding rates, margin requirements, or contract specifications in its announcement.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The rollout extends a derivative once mostly accessed through offshore venues onto a CFTC-regulated platform, following the CFTC's earlier 2026 approvals of perpetual futures for firms like Coinbase and Kalshi. This suggests the boundary between traditional fintech brokerages and crypto-native infrastructure is narrowing, potentially giving millions of retail investors regulated access to a historically high-risk, leverage-heavy product. The move could also pressure other US brokerages to introduce similar offerings to stay competitive.
- Webull will offer Bitcoin perpetual futures to US clients beginning in November.
- The product lets traders take leveraged long or short positions with no expiration, unlike standard futures contracts.
- The launch follows CFTC approvals earlier in 2026 for perpetual futures at firms including Coinbase and Kalshi.
