Coinbase Introduces Round-the-Clock Trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures, Achieving Significant Milestone
Heyy there! It looks like the mighty Coinbase has just announced that they're offering round-the-clock trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, marking a significant leap in the regulated US derivatives market![1] This is the first time leveraged futures contracts will be available for 24/7 trading on a CFTC-regulated exchange!
Coinbase made the announcement in a recent blog post.[2] Starting May 9, 2025, American traders can dive into the world of continuous futures trading, day or night, even on weekends! With this move, Coinbase Derivatives (CDE) becomes the trailblazer among CFTC-regulated derivatives exchanges, offering perpetual futures contract trading all day, every day, to both retail and institutional investors.[3]
By opening up 24/7 futures trading, Coinbase aims to provide broader market access, enabling traders to manage risks and seize opportunities in real-time, reflecting the ever-active nature of the crypto markets.[4] The exchange also hinted that more exciting developments are on the horizon, with plans to introduce perpetual-style futures to the US market soon—giving retail traders a familiar and widely-used derivative product, but within the secure boundaries of regulation.[5]
Coinbase updates
This week, Coinbase welcomed two new assets to its platform: PAX Gold (PAXG) and Space and Time (SXT). PAXG is now available across Coinbase and its mobile apps, while SXT has been listed on both platforms under the experimental label, allowing users to buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or store these assets.[6]
In another announcement, Pendle (PENDLE) is now accessible to New York residents on Coinbase and its mobile apps.[7] On the flip side, trading for Gemini Dollar (GUSD) and GYEN (GYEN) has been suspended, but users can still withdraw their funds at any time.[8]
So there you have it—Coinbase is shaking things up with continuous futures trading, and the crypto world is eagerly watching to see what happens next! Keep up with the latest updates by staying tuned to U.Today.
