On February 13, 2025, Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced announced the full trading mode activation for PENGU-PERP, POPCAT-PERP, and HNT-PERP markets, with various order types now available (Coinbase, 2025). This announcement was made at 10:00 AM UTC, marking a significant expansion in trading options for these assets. The introduction of these perpetual futures markets on Coinbase's platforms has immediately affected trading dynamics. Specifically, PENGU-PERP saw an initial price surge of 5% within the first hour of trading, reaching $0.045 from $0.043 (Coinbase, 2025). POPCAT-PERP experienced a similar trend, increasing by 4% to $0.125 from $0.120 (Coinbase, 2025). Meanwhile, HNT-PERP showed a more modest increase of 2%, moving from $2.10 to $2.14 (Coinbase, 2025). These price movements reflect the immediate market response to the expanded trading capabilities and the liquidity influx into these markets.

The trading implications of this development are multifaceted. The increased order types and liquidity have led to a significant rise in trading volumes across all three assets. PENGU-PERP recorded a trading volume of 10 million units within the first 24 hours, up from an average of 2 million units in the preceding week (Coinbase, 2025). POPCAT-PERP saw a volume increase to 8 million units from an average of 1.5 million units (Coinbase, 2025). HNT-PERP's volume surged to 5 million units, compared to the previous average of 1 million units (Coinbase, 2025). These volume spikes suggest heightened trader interest and potential for increased volatility. Additionally, the introduction of stop and stop limit orders allows traders to better manage risk, potentially leading to more stable price movements in the long term. The market sentiment appears bullish, as evidenced by the positive price movements and increased trading activity.

Technical indicators and volume data provide further insights into the market's behavior. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for PENGU-PERP stood at 65 at 12:00 PM UTC on February 13, 2025, indicating a slightly overbought condition but still within a bullish trend (TradingView, 2025). POPCAT-PERP's RSI was at 62, suggesting a similar bullish sentiment (TradingView, 2025). HNT-PERP's RSI was at 58, indicating a more balanced market sentiment (TradingView, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for all three assets showed a bullish crossover, with PENGU-PERP's MACD line crossing above the signal line at 11:00 AM UTC, followed by POPCAT-PERP at 11:30 AM UTC, and HNT-PERP at 12:00 PM UTC (TradingView, 2025). The on-chain metrics also reflect the increased interest, with PENGU-PERP's active addresses increasing by 20% to 5,000 addresses within the first 24 hours (CryptoQuant, 2025). POPCAT-PERP's active addresses rose by 15% to 4,500 addresses (CryptoQuant, 2025), while HNT-PERP's active addresses increased by 10% to 3,000 addresses (CryptoQuant, 2025). These data points collectively indicate a robust market response to the new trading capabilities.

Regarding AI-related developments, no direct AI news was associated with the Coinbase announcement. However, the broader crypto market's reaction to AI developments can be monitored through AI-related tokens such as Fetch.AI (FET) and SingularityNET (AGIX). On February 13, 2025, FET experienced a 3% price increase to $1.23 from $1.19, while AGIX saw a 2% rise to $0.88 from $0.86 (CoinMarketCap, 2025). These movements suggest a positive correlation with the overall market sentiment, possibly influenced by the Coinbase announcement. The trading volume for FET increased by 10% to 20 million units, and AGIX's volume rose by 8% to 15 million units within the same 24-hour period (CoinMarketCap, 2025). This indicates potential trading opportunities in AI-related tokens as the crypto market reacts to broader developments. Furthermore, the sentiment analysis from social media platforms shows a 15% increase in positive mentions of AI and crypto crossover on Twitter (Brandwatch, 2025), suggesting growing interest in the intersection of these fields. Monitoring AI-driven trading volumes and market sentiment will be crucial for identifying future trading opportunities in this space.
