The exchange noted that the altcoins will be listed on November 30. Moreover, its support for the assets will be through perpetual futures contracts, a notable crypto derivative trading option on its platform.

With the addition of the four altcoins to its trading list, Coinbase International now has a total of ten tradeable contracts on its platform.Previously, the exchange arm supported the trading of Bitcoin (BTC), Ripple (XRP), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), and Avalanche (AVAX).

Notably, investors get exposure to the price trend of assets through perpetual futures contracts without direct acquisition of the underlying assets.This means that users could hold the contracts indefinitely once they maintain a favourable trading position.

Usually, perpetual contracts are different from time-based future contracts in terms of stated settlement periods like weekly, monthly, quarterly, and others.

It added some of the prominent and trending altcoins as a measure to attract more investors to its perpetual trading option. Also, its choice of assets is those with substantial market valuations in the crypto market.

Among the newly selected assets to be listed, ADA and DOGE are within the top 10 range of cryptocurrencies in terms of market cap. LINK and XLM occupy the 12th and 25th positions of token ranking, respectively.

Additionally, all four tokens have recorded double-digit reclaims in their value within the past 30 days.
