The number one publicly traded cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. is set to disrupt the U.S. crypto futures market by introducing 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
This move from Coinbase removes the limitations of traditional market hours, allowing traders to manage positions at any time—similar to how global crypto markets operate.
Derivatives dominate crypto trading worldwide, yet U.S. traders have been restricted by fixed schedules that prevent them from reacting instantly to price changes. Coinbase aims to change that, catering to demand from crypto-focused investors who want unrestricted access to futures markets.
Unlike international markets, the U.S. lacks regulated perpetual futures, which let traders hold positions indefinitely. Coinbase is working with regulators to introduce a compliant version, ensuring traders no longer need offshore alternatives.
The company is engaging with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and expanding partnerships with Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) to facilitate its new product. Its efforts align with a broader industry push—Singapore’s SGX, for example, plans to launch Bitcoin perpetual futures in 2025.
Meanwhile, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is strengthening ties with the Trump administration, reportedly contributing millions to Trump’s campaign and attending a White House crypto summit. His influence could play a key role in shaping future crypto regulations in the U.S.
