By: zycrypto|2025/05/09 20:45:06

The crypto exchange Coinbase has officially rolled out 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, becoming the first CFTC-regulated platform to offer U.S. customers round-the-clock access to these contracts. Coinbase 24/7 BTC, ETH Futures Trading Goes Live In an official blog post , Coinbase announced this huge milestone in the regulated U.S. derivatives market. Starting from May 9, 2025, both retail and institutional users will have access to 24-hour trading for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) futures for the first time on a CFTC-regulated exchange. Coinbase, which went public in 2021, first announced the service in March, “in response to strong demand from crypto-native traders,” the firm stated at the time. The San Francisco-headquartered crypto exchange’s new 24/7 trading feature will let clients properly “manage risk” by responding “to price movements and market events in real time, including weekends.” Coinbase said it has teamed up with CFTC-regulated clearinghouse Nodal Clear to launch the service. “Extending futures trading to a 24/7 cycle is a fundamental evolution in market structure and one that requires robust risk management around the clock,” Nodal Clear’s Chairman and CEO, Paul Cusenza, opined. According to the blog, trading access is available via futures commission merchants(FCMs), such as ABN AMRO, Wedbush Securities, and Coinbase Financial Markets. “The arrival of 24/7 CFTC-regulated markets is a game-changer for the industry,” quipped Andy Sears, CEO of Coinbase Financial Markets. Coinbase’s 24/7 futures contract trading comes a day after the American exchange announced it would buy Dubai-based options trading platform Deribit for a staggering $2.9 billion in the crypto industry’s largest corporate acquisition to date. As per the deal, the total price will be $700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase Class A common stock. The deal reflects rising competition among digital asset exchanges, including Coinbase and Kraken , to dominate the highly profitable crypto derivatives market. The acquisition also strengthened Coinbase’s standing in the global market, which is still dominated by Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume.
