US-based cryptocurrency investors now have an unprecedented opportunity to engage with Bitcoin and Ethereum futures markets without interruption. A leading digital asset exchange has pioneered this by launching round-the-clock trading, marking a significant development for the American crypto landscape.

This continuous trading service is offered through Coinbase Derivatives, its division regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It empowers both institutional clients and individual retail traders to manage their positions and react to global market dynamics 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including over weekends and holidays.

Regulatory Oversight and Market Stability

To ensure robust compliance and foster stability within the rapidly evolving digital asset derivatives sector, all transactions executed on this new platform will be cleared and settled by Nodal Clear. Nodal Clear is another organization operating under the diligent oversight of the CFTC, reinforcing the regulated nature of this offering.

Strategic Expansion and Future Offerings

This initiative represents a substantial step forward in the maturation of the U.S. cryptocurrency markets, a result of dedicated, long-term collaboration with regulatory authorities. Coinbase is poised for further expansion in this area, with plans to introduce perpetual futures contracts in the near future. These upcoming products will be supported by established institutional partners. This launch follows an earlier announcement of the service and comes on the heels of a strategic acquisition, reportedly valued at $2.9 billion, designed to strengthen Coinbase’s foothold in the global crypto derivatives trading arena.
