<p>Coinase Derivatives filed a request to list new Futures contracts to the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on March 7th. The exchange platform however, expected delays during the regulatory process and therefore planned to launch the products anyway, as they are confident the leveraged contracts adhere to the legal guidelines established by the US Commodity Futures and Trading Commission.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Coinbase’s application to list Dogecoin Futures, it stated that the Doge cryptocurrency has withstood the test of time and undoubtedly grown beyond its reputation as a memecoin.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The cryptocurrency’s popularity across the board has soared even more after the announcement, witnessed by the sharp (18%) increase in DOGE price.</p>

<p>The cryptocurrency exchange has played around with the idea of crypto-leveraged derivatives for a long time. Back in 2022. The crypto exchange platform clearly mentioned that it has intentions of making cryptocurrency derivatives contracts reachable to its retail investors.

These steps are received positively within the Web 3 space, and crypto investors are undoubtedly excited as they wait for this opportunity, come April 1st, to access CTFC-regulated derivatives of well-known cryptocurrencies like BitcoinCash, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.&nbsp;</p>
