Coinbase Wallet Adds Pulse Mode For Perps
Coinbase has launched Pulse Mode, a simplified mobile interface for perpetual futures trading, shortly after renaming its Base App to Coinbase Wallet. The feature gives eligible users a streamlined route to leveraged trading directly inside the self-custodial wallet, without leaving the application to use a separate exchange or platform. It marks one of the most direct consumer-facing moves yet in the companys broader push into derivatives. What Pulse Mode does Pulse Mode presents a simplified interface for opening and managing leveraged long and short positions, commonly called perps. In perpetual futures, traders take a position on an assets price without an expiry date, using leverage to amplify exposure in either direction. Coinbase Wallet remains self-custodial and supports spot crypto, tokenized assets, prediction markets, commodities, and perpetual markets together, with Pulse Mode positioned as the entry point for the derivatives side of that stack. The company has not yet published detailed fee schedules, leverage limits, or regional eligibility requirements for the new mode. Announcement and rollout Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed the feature in a September 12 post on X, sharing an image of the new interface and inviting users to download the updated application. His post did not provide technical specifications, a complete list
