Coinbase Offers 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures Trading
- Coinbase’s 24/7 futures trading officially launches.
- U.S. traders gain continuous market access.
- Regulatory approval marks a new industry phase.
Coinbase Derivatives LLC has initiated 24-hour futures trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum from May 9, 2025.
This launch, regulated by the CFTC, offers continuous trading, marking a pivotal shift for U.S. cryptocurrency markets.
Coinbase Derivatives CEO, Boris Ilyevsky, indicated collaborative efforts with CFTC for the first-ever 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts. Andy Sears from Coinbase Financial Markets describes this as transformational for industry accessibility.
“The arrival of 24/7 CFTC-regulated markets is a game-changer for the industry. Coinbase Financial Markets is thrilled to be able to provide seamless, around-the-clock access to futures trading, empowering our customers to trade anytime on Coinbase Advanced.” — Andy Sears, CEO, Coinbase Financial Markets.
Capitalizing on this new offering, traders can manage risk uninterrupted. Benefits include executing trades during weekends and responding swiftly to market events, improving the capability to seize opportunities.
Financial implications are expected as broader market access may influence trading strategies and liquidity. Regulated markets might attract more institutional participation, aligning futures trading with global standards.
These changes portend potential growth in the derivatives sector. Historical trends suggest that perpetual-style futures, anticipated later, could greatly expand retail market engagement.
