Coinbase Pro, a US exchange for professional cryptocurrency trading, will no longer provide margin trading.

Citing guidance from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the organization announced there will be no new margin trades starting 5 pm ET on November 25. It replied that the “product will be chosen offline in December already all existing margin positions have expired.”

Margin trading is when an investor borrows funds from a third party, in this case Coinbase, to make trades for more than they own.
