Major crypto exchange Coinbase has unveiled a December surprise, which includes Shiba Inu. In positive news, Coinbase will be launching new U. S. perpetual-style futures for Shiba Inu, giving retail traders access to one of the most widely used derivatives products in crypto within a regulated environment. Shiba Inu also stands to benefit from the upcoming launch of 24/7 trading for altcoin monthly futures. In a tweet, Coinbase reveals major developments, saying, “December just got major for altcoin traders,” while highlighting two key dates ahead. In May this year, Coinbase launched 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, making it the first time leveraged futures contracts could be traded around the clock on a CFTC-regulated exchange. At the time, Coinbase revealed that its Derivatives Exchange was actively working to introduce perpetual-style futures to the U. S., highlighting the 24/7 trading start as only the beginning. Two key dates revealed According to Coinbase, beginning Dec. 5, 24/7 trading will go live for all altcoin monthly futures from Coinbase Derivatives. On Dec. 12, Coinbase will be launching new U. S. perpetual-style futures for all altcoins. The assets launching include Shiba Inu (SHIB) and 10 other cryptocurrencies, such as Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Hedera, Litecoin, Polkadot, SUI and Stellar. The launch will give retail traders access to one of the most widely used derivatives products in crypto within a regulated environment as well as round-the-clock and weekend trading of altcoin futures, including Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu in spotlight This week, news went out that Japan has officially green-lighted SHIB, making it eligible for a 20% flat tax, putting it in the same category as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This week, major crypto exchange Gemini announced the launch of new perpetual contracts, including Shiba Inu. Gemini’s European customers can now trade perpetual contracts for Shiba Inu, allowing users to take long or short positions with up to 100x leverage and no monthly expiration date within the Gemini platform.

Maxwell, Epstein pleaded for Virginia Giuffre to ‘have our baby’ — prompting teen to hatch escape plan: Memoir
**Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s Disturbing Proposal to Virginia Roberts Giuffre: “Have Our Baby”**
In a chilling revelation from her posthumous memoir, *Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice*, Virginia Roberts Giuffre exposed a sinister request from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The pair pleaded with the then-teenage Giuffre to “have our baby,” a disturbing proposition that left her fearful they intended to breed children for their sex trafficking ring.
The proposal came with promises that sounded almost like a dream: round-the-clock nannies, a mansion either in Palm Beach or New York, and a staggering $200,000 monthly allowance. However, the generous offer was sealed with harsh conditions. Giuffre would have to sign over all legal rights to the child to Epstein, travel wherever he wished with the baby, and attest in writing that Epstein and she were not a couple. Worse still, if Epstein and Maxwell ever had a falling out, the child would remain with Epstein.
> “Everything about Epstein and Maxwell’s brazen request felt wrong,” Giuffre wrote.
> “There was no way I wanted to bring a child into the world for them to raise. What if the baby were female? Was the plan for Epstein and Maxwell to have me bring that little girl up until she reached puberty, then hand her over for them to abuse?”
At the time, Giuffre was just 18 years old and had been under the control of Epstein and Maxwell for two years. During that harrowing period, she endured repeated abuse by elite figures including disgraced royal Prince Andrew and an unnamed Prime Minister, who allegedly left her “bloodied and beaten.” (Prince Andrew has consistently denied these allegations.)
The request to bear their child “pushed me past my breaking point,” Giuffre revealed. The shocking question came after an afternoon snorkeling on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands. Epstein had spent the day lavishing her with compliments and appreciation for her “devotion” to his lifestyle.
> “Then he came out with it: ‘Jenna, I want you to have our baby,’” Giuffre recalled, referencing the nickname Epstein and Maxwell gave her.
> “Though I’d heard him talk hypothetically about seeding the human race with his DNA, his proposal shocked me.”
Despite Maxwell’s promises of luxury living and financial security, the conditions made clear the disturbing extent of control Epstein and Maxwell wanted to exert—not just over Giuffre, but over any potential child.
Giuffre stressed that the idea of pregnancy itself was daunting, given the trauma and abuse she had endured.
> “Epstein and Maxwell had made so many demands that I had met, ignoring my own feelings in the hope of pleasing them. But this proposal would endanger another person: a helpless child. It was a bridge too far.”
Fully aware that outright refusal would be dangerous, Giuffre began secretly planning her escape.
> “With perfect clarity, I simply knew that I couldn’t agree to their proposal. That said, I also knew I couldn’t just tell Epstein and Maxwell no. That was too dangerous. For the first time in more than two years, I began actively seeking a way to escape, buying time by pretending to think over their offer.”
Eventually, Giuffre agreed to the proposal—but only on the condition that Epstein and Maxwell finally uphold their promise to send her to professional training as a masseuse.
Epstein followed through by sending her to the International Training Massage School in Thailand. While she was expected to continue recruiting girls for Epstein’s trafficking ring, Giuffre instead met her future husband, Robert Giuffre. With his support, she escaped Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp. The couple went on to have three children of their own.
Neither Epstein nor Maxwell ever had children.
Giuffre’s memoir, which contains this haunting account, is set to be released next week. She completed the book in the years before her tragic suicide in April at the age of 41—a reminder of the deep scars left by her years of abuse and her courageous fight for justice.
