Coinbase Launching US Regulated 24/7 Bitcoin Futures

Coinbase Sets May 9 Launch for Regulated 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures Trading in US

Crypto exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) announced on April 4 that it will introduce the first U.S.-regulated 24/7 bitcoin and ethereum futures contracts through its derivatives arm, with trading set to begin May 9. This initiative marks a significant shift in how digital asset derivatives are offered to U.S. traders, aligning domestic markets more closely with global crypto trading practices. The company explained:

On May 9, Coinbase Derivatives LLC, a CFTC-regulated futures exchange, is launching the first 24/7 bitcoin and ethereum futures contracts, giving U.S. traders uninterrupted access to manage risk and seize opportunities—just like crypto.

By enabling continuous trading access, Coinbase aims to remove the inefficiencies associated with traditional fixed trading hours and contract expirations. This will allow participants to engage with crypto markets in real time, regardless of the day or hour. Multiple contract sizes will be available to suit both individual and institutional strategies, and regulated clearing will be handled by Nodal Clear, with Coinbase Financial Markets facilitating market access.

The company also revealed plans to expand its product lineup with a novel contract design, stating:

We’re also developing a perpetual-style futures contract, unlocking a key product U.S. traders have been missing. Built in response to strong demand from crypto-native traders, these innovations make U.S. markets more accessible, competitive and aligned with global standards.

In a related development, Coinbase revealed on April 3 that its derivatives division has formally submitted a filing to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to self-certify a futures contract based on XRP. The new offering is expected to go live later this month. Coinbase Institutional stated: “We’re excited to announce that Coinbase Derivatives has filed with the CFTC to self-certify XRP futures – bringing a regulated, capital-efficient way to gain exposure to one of the most liquid digital assets. We anticipate the contract going live on April 21, 2025.”

  • Trump Announces Most Severe Economic Sanctions Against Iran

    On August 20, U.S. President Trump stated, 'I have given Iran more opportunities to reach an agreement than anyone else. Unfortunately, they missed that opportunity. Therefore, today, I am announcing the most severe economic sanctions ever imposed on Iran, which will be an unprecedented economic war and isolation. Iran's navy has disappeared, its air force has been destroyed, military factories are now in ruins, its currency is worthless, and the entire nation is in a precarious situation. Any country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any form of assistance to Iran will face significant economic consequences. Oil smuggling, swap quotas, cash transfers, currency exchange agencies, ship registrations, shell companies—all of these must stop immediately. This will be the 'Economic D-Day,' and we need all allies to stand with the United States to isolate and defeat the threat posed by Iran. Iran will never possess nuclear weapons.' (Jinshi)

  • U.S. Federal Debt Exceeds $40 Trillion

    On August 20, as the U.S. government borrows at an unprecedented pace, the total national debt has surpassed $40 trillion. Despite Trump's promise to control government spending, the ever-expanding debt continues to raise concerns among investors regarding the state of U.S. public finances. According to data released by the U.S. Treasury on Wednesday, the federal debt crossed the $40 trillion threshold on Tuesday. Over the past year, the debt has increased by $3 trillion, marking the fastest growth rate in history, excluding the pandemic period. "It's like a huge warning light on a car engine," said Mark Goldwyn, senior policy director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "This doesn't mean the engine will burn out tomorrow, but it is a clear signal that things have gotten out of control. The issue is not just the sheer size of the debt, but the speed at which we reached this level." Over the past two decades, the national debt of the United States has surged dramatically, rising from less than $6 trillion at the turn of the century to its current level. Massive public spending during the financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the widening budget deficit. In just the past decade, the overall debt has doubled. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the federal debt held by the public will exceed 106% of GDP around 2030, surpassing the historical peak set in 1946 after World War II, and will further climb to 120% by 2036.
