WIF fails to rally after perpetual futures listing on Coinbase

WIF's perpetual futures listing on Coinbase follows that of PEPE's on April 23, which saw the Bitcoin-based meme coin experiencing a surge.

According to Coinbase's announcement, limit, market, and stop limit orders are available for the token's perpetual futures.

It's important to note that US customers won't have access to WIF's perpetual futures on the Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced platforms.

Since its listing, the WIF token saw a slight price increase, with a 0.9% rise.

Unlike its PEPE counterparts, which saw huge pumps, investors appeared to have ignored leveraging WIF's perpetual futures as a buy signal. This is most likely due to the general crypto market decline, which has seen several coins stagnate, including many from the meme category.

Coinbase, on the other hand, appears to be showing more support for young cryptocurrency projects on its international platforms. It plans to list Aevo, Ethena, and Etherfi perpetual futures on May 2.

The statement was made public in an X post on Thursday.
