Coinbase Launches 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures Trading on CFTC-Regulated Exchange

Coinbase has made a major leap in crypto derivatives by launching 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts. Starting May 9, 2025, U.S. traders can now access round-the-clock leveraged futures trading on Coinbase Derivatives (CDE), making it the first CFTC-regulated exchange to offer this service. This development aligns with the non-stop nature of global crypto markets, giving both retail and institutional investors greater flexibility in managing risk and seizing market opportunities in real time.

According to Coinbase’s official announcement, the 24/7 trading capability is just the beginning. The exchange also plans to introduce perpetual-style futures — a popular product in global crypto markets — within a regulated U.S. framework. This move is expected to significantly broaden access to crypto derivatives for U.S.-based users while adhering to compliance standards.

In addition to this milestone, Coinbase has expanded its asset offerings. PAX Gold (PAXG) is now available for trading on Coinbase’s mobile apps, alongside Space and Time (SXT), which is listed under the experimental label. New York users can now also access Pendle (PENDLE) on Coinbase. Conversely, trading for Gemini Dollar (GUSD) and GYEN has been disabled, though withdrawals remain available.

These updates reinforce Coinbase’s commitment to regulatory compliance and product innovation, aiming to bridge traditional finance and crypto. The platform’s focus on 24/7 access and expanding its asset ecosystem reflects growing demand for accessible, regulated crypto trading options in the U.S.

By pioneering regulated 24/7 crypto futures trading and expanding its listings, Coinbase strengthens its position as a leading crypto exchange adapting to market evolution and trader needs.
