The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved Coinbase 's registration of its own corporate derivative accounting firm on the 28th, with Coinbase , a subsidiary of Coinbase . Clearing LLC was authorized to operate as a full-fledged derivatives brokerage company. Such approval provided Coinbase with an infrastructure for registering, intermediating and settling fully collateralized derivative accounts.
