What it means

People using Coinbase’s platform are the main group affected right away, because the exchange now offers short-dated crypto price contracts that were not there before. Traders who want to place 15-minute or hourly bets on bitcoin, ether, and eight other tokens can see those markets on Tuesday’s launch, and that changes what is available to them today.
