CME Group Expands Trading Hours for Crypto Futures

CME Group has announced plans to launch 24/7 trading for its regulated cryptocurrency futures and options, pending regulatory approval.

The move is a significant shift towards real-time access to digital assets, allowing traders to respond quickly to market shocks or developments. This change will bring the traditional derivatives market in line with continuous trading platforms like Binance.

Client demand for crypto risk management has driven notional volumes to $3 trillion in 2025 and lifted average daily volume by 46% year on year, to 407,200 contracts.
