Coinbase Smashes Wall Street Hours—Launches 24/7 Crypto Futures Trading
Wall Street’s 9-to-5 just got a middle finger from crypto. Coinbase becomes the first U.S. exchange to offer round-the-clock futures trading—because apparently markets don’t sleep, even if your portfolio manager does.
No more waiting for the opening bell. Bitcoin volatility at 3AM? Now you can lose money on leverage with institutional-grade infrastructure. Thanks, Coinbase.
Bonus jab: Finally, a futures market that matches crypto Twitter’s energy—always online, emotionally unstable, and ready to overleverage at the worst possible moment.

Coinbase Derivatives CEO Boris Ilyevsky said the offering is the result of extensive collaboration with regulators and marks a major step toward maturing U.S.-based crypto markets.
Coinbase isn’t stopping there. The exchange plans to roll out perpetual futures contracts in the NEAR future, backed by institutional partners such as Virtu Financial, ABN AMRO, Wedbush Securities, and Coinbase Financial Markets.
The launch follows Coinbase’s March announcement of the service and comes shortly after its $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit—a strategic MOVE to further cement its footprint in global crypto derivatives trading.
