Coinbase Goes All-In: 24/7 XRP & Solana Futures Now Live

No more market close—crypto never sleeps, and neither does Coinbase. The exchange just flipped the switch on round-the-clock XRP and Solana futures trading, letting degens and pros alike gamble... err, trade... whenever the mood strikes.

Night owls, rejoice—your 3 AM leveraged bets just got a whole lot easier. Solana’s speed meets XRP’s regulatory limbo in a 24/7 volatility cocktail. Just don’t blame the exchange when your sleep-deprived futures play blows up.

Wall Street’s ’9-to-5’ mentality gets another middle finger from crypto—because who needs weekends when there’s perpetual liquidity? (Spoiler: your risk management does.)

• Coinbase to launch 24/7 XRP and Solana (SOL) futures trading on June 13, expanding its regulated derivatives offerings beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
• The move addresses U.S. traders’ need for round-the-clock access, aligning with global crypto market hours and boosting real-time risk management.
• XRP and SOL contracts have already shown strong early demand, with tens of thousands of contracts traded during initial sessions.

Coinbase announced today that it will roll out 24/7 futures trading for XRP and solana (SOL) starting June 13, further solidifying its position as a leading U.S. exchange navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Starting June 13, we’re enabling 24×7 trading for $XRP and Solana ( $SOL ) futures, unlocking real-time access to U.S. traders, reflecting the always-on nature of crypto markets.

The expansion follows the recent success of Coinbase Derivatives, which became the first CFTC-regulated platform in the U.S. to offer round-the-clock trading for Bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) futures. Now, with XRP and SOL joining the lineup, the exchange is aiming to fill a critical gap in the U.S. market: aligning crypto derivatives trading hours with the always-on nature of global digital asset markets.

Traditionally, U.S. markets operate on a fixed schedule, leaving traders at a disadvantage when global crypto news breaks after hours. With the introduction of 24/7 XRP and SOL futures, Coinbase is responding directly to that challenge, empowering U.S.-based traders with real-time access to price action and risk management tools at any hour.

“The arrival of 24/7 CFTC-regulated markets is a game-changer for the industry,” said Andy Sears, CEO of Coinbase Financial Markets. “We’re delivering compliant, around-the-clock tools that allow U.S. traders to engage with the global crypto economy like never before.”

Coinbase Enters Altcoin Futures with XRP and SOL

Coinbase’s timing couldn’t be better. According to the exchange, over 75% of global crypto trading volume now occurs through derivatives, an increasingly dominant sector fueled by institutional interest and sophisticated retail traders.

By adding XRP and SOL contracts, Coinbase is not only broadening its offerings but also strategically positioning itself to capture a larger share of the global derivatives flow, which is currently dominated by offshore platforms.

The move reflects the growing demand for regulated altcoin futures products in the U.S., particularly as investors seek exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum without leaving the protections of a CFTC-compliant marketplace.

According to data from the Thursday trading session, Coinbase’s nano XRP and SOL contracts are already seeing substantial traction. During Thursday’s trading session, nano Solana contracts led all products with over 23,000 contracts traded, while XRP contracts, across both standard and nano formats, surpassed 13,000 contracts in combined volume.

This uptake signals that U.S. traders are increasingly comfortable engaging with altcoin futures, especially when offered through a trusted and regulated venue.

XRP and Solana Futures Gain Momentum on Coinbase

Coinbase first introduced Solana futures in February, and XRP futures followed in April. Their swift adoption underscores the pent-up demand for diversified derivatives access among domestic investors.

As crypto markets continue maturing and regulatory clarity slowly unfolds, Coinbase is betting on its regulated infrastructure and round-the-clock trading model to distinguish itself in the crowded derivatives space.

With Bitcoin and Ethereum remaining core pillars, the addition of XRP and Solana futures gives the exchange a more diversified toolkit to attract altcoin traders, hedge funds, and institutions looking for U.S.-based exposure without compromise.

In a market that never sleeps, Coinbase’s expanding 24/7 derivatives suite could become the new norm, ushering in a future where access, compliance, and innovation go hand in hand.
