Coinbase Expands 24/7 Futures Trading to Major Altcoins

Coinbase Markets is preparing to offer around-the-clock futures trading for a broader set of major altcoins, advancing its push into regulated crypto derivatives as demand for continuous market access grows.

The expansion builds on Coinbase Derivatives’ existing 24/7 markets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, which feature both standard contracts and smaller “nano” products designed for retail traders.

In addition to 24/7 trading, Coinbase is rolling out U.S. perpetual-style futures for the same altcoin lineup. These contracts mimic crypto-native perpetual swaps—using funding rates to keep prices aligned with spot—but will settle after five years, rather than following the indefinite schedule common on offshore exchanges.

Coinbase first introduced 24/7 BTC and ETH futures in May and added long-dated futures in the U.S. in July, making it the first major American exchange to offer such products under a fully regulated framework.

Currently, most liquidity for non-BTC/ETH futures resides offshore, particularly on platforms like Binance and Bybit. A U.S.-based alternative with deeper institutional access and clearer regulatory oversight could gradually capture more order flow, particularly if funding markets remain volatile and regulatory pressure continues to shape offshore activity.
