Coinbase Launches 24/7 Bitcoin and Ether Futures Trading in the U.S.

On Monday, Coinbase Derivatives, the CFTC-regulated futures arm of the crypto exchange, announced the launch of 24/7 futures trading for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). This initiative aims to bridge the gap between traditional fixed trading hours and the continuous nature of the crypto market. In partnership with Nodal Clear for CFTC-regulated clearing, Coinbase will offer both large and nano-sized contracts to retail and institutional traders. Derivatives account for 75% of global trading volume, making them a cornerstone of crypto markets. This launch marks the first 24/7-available crypto futures in the U.S.
