Crypto Derivatives: CME Group Launches 24/7 Trading
- The CME Group, one of the world's largest futures exchanges, announced plans on Thursday to offer 24/7 trading in crypto futures and options.
- According to the company, the service could launch as early as early 2026, subject to regulatory approval.
- Currently, trading in CME crypto products is paused on weekends and outside of business hours.
- “Client demand for 24/7 cryptocurrency trading has increased as market participants need to manage their risk every day of the week,” said Tim McCourt, global head of equities, foreign exchange and alternative products at CME Group.
- The move could be of interest to institutions that desire the stability of a regulated exchange without the constraints of traditional trading hours.
- The CME Group offers institutional investors a platform for trading crypto derivatives. It is the world's leading exchange for BTC and ETH futures by open interest.
- While institutional crypto adoption continues to advance in the background, public commentary is also becoming more bullish. JPMorgan recently announced a new Bitcoin price target.
