Coinbase Futures – Spring 2025 Release: More Hours, More Contracts, and More Perpetual

More Hours

For the first time ever on Coinbase Advanced, BTC and ETH futures contracts are available to trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.* Previously, futures trading was only available from Sunday to Friday. Now, traders in the US have the flexibility to open and close positions on BTC and ETH futures at any time. Round-the-clock trading affords our customers more opportunities to execute their strategies, as well as better manage risk and respond to market movements. We are also planning to expand 24/7 trading access to additional futures contracts, starting with SOL and XRP in the coming weeks.

More Contracts

We’ve also expanded our lineup of crypto futures contracts—now including SOL, XRP, ADA, and HBAR. In addition, traders can access silver and natural gas futures alongside other commodities like gold and oil. Soon, customers will even be able to trade futures on equities indices.

More Perpetual

Coinbase Advanced users will soon be able to trade perpetual-style BTC and ETH futures in the US –  a groundbreaking product designed to meet the strong demand for crypto derivatives within a regulated environment. Sign up now to trade futures on Coinbase Advanced and gain early access to these contracts.
