This means that traders can use leverage to trade these altcoins and this can be beneficial as it can increase the returns in the event of price movements in the market. Perpetual futures contracts are common in the crypto market because they are not time-limited like futures contracts.

EURC Conversion and Polygon Support

In addition, the exchange has also announced the addition of a new 1:1 conversion for euros to the euro-pegged stablecoin, EURC. This conversion service will be available in Coinbase Advanced starting August 28, 2024, and there will be no fees for using it. 

This step is in line with the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations set by the European Union to facilitate legal transactions within the EU.

The crypto exchange has also recently added support for the Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL) on both the Polygon and Ethereum networks. The integration of POL makes the token valuable and convenient for users to interact with the platform.
