Coinbase Unveils 24/7 Gold, Silver Futures Contracts for US Traders

Coinbase Derivatives is expanding its regulated futures lineup with 24/7 gold and silver contracts aimed at US retail and institutional traders. The announcement adds another layer to Coinbase's push beyond spot crypto trading and into broader market-structure products that operate around the clock.

The move is notable because gold and silver are not crypto assets, but Coinbase is presenting the products through the same always-on trading logic that helped define digital asset markets. This could appeal to traders who are used to crypto-style access but want exposure to traditional commodities through a regulated venue.

Coinbase Derivatives said the contracts are CFTC-regulated and pointed to oil futures as a planned next step, suggesting the platform is building a wider suite of around-the-clock commodity products rather than treating gold and silver as a one-off launch.
