About
Coinbase, founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam, offers regulated crypto futures through Coinbase Financial Markets (CFM) for US traders, approved by the CFTC.
Internationally, Coinbase provides perpetual futures via Coinbase Advanced, with 90+ markets, up to 20x leverage, and USDC settlement.
Licensed globally (US, UK FCA, Germany BaFin), Coinbase secures funds through audited reserves, NASDAQ-listed transparency, and cold storage custody.
MEXC, founded in 2018 by John Chen, is a major crypto exchange offering perpetual futures with leverage up to 200x and access to over 2,900 cryptocurrencies.
Serving 30 million traders in 170 countries, MEXC features low futures fees, diverse altcoin markets, and special perks for high-volume users.
While it provides robust security through Proof of Reserves and cold storage, MEXC remains unlicensed by major regulators and has drawn warnings from several global financial bodies.
