RPT-Cryptoverse-U.S. retail traders eye a fresh piece of the crypto derivatives pie

America's mom and pop bitcoin buffs have a shiny new derivatives playground that cryptocurrency analysts hope will fire up a moribund market. Their new platform is cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global, which on Aug. 16 became the first crypto-focused firm to win approval to offer cryptocurrency futures to U.S. retail customers. "Coinbase’s approval to offer U.S. futures has the potential to rekindle hope and momentum in the market," said Lucas Kiely, chief investment officer of digital investment platform Yield App.
