With the initiation of round-the-clock trading, the move marks a pivotal advance in regulated U.S. crypto markets, aiming to enhance liquidity and institutional participation.
Coinbase Derivatives LLC announced the launch of 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures on a CFTC-regulated platform. This marks the first occurrence of continuous trading availability for leveraged futures in the U.S. regulated environment.
