What Is a Nano Ether Perpetual Futures Contract?

A Nano Ether Perpetual Futures Contract is a smaller-sized Ethereum futures contract that provides continuous price exposure without a fixed expiration date. Unlike traditional Ether futures that settle on a specific date, perpetual style futures remain open as long as margin requirements are met. The nano contract size reduces notional exposure, allowing traders to manage risk more precisely while trading Ether on margin.

How to Calculate Coinbase Perp Futures Margins

Coinbase margins are based off a 3:00 p.m. CT settlement price established by Coinbase.

For example:

Nano ETH Perp Style Futures (ETP)

Contract Size – 0.1 ETH

ETP – Friday’s Dec. 2030 Contract Settlement Price: $2,508

Long (Buy) is 19.9368%

Short (Short) is 27.2307%  

0.1 x 2,508 x 19.9368% = Margin for buying ETH perp-style.
