Coinbase Markets to Launch 24/7 Futures Trading for Popular Altcoins: Expanding Offerings and Regulated Crypto DerivativesCoinbase Markets is set to introduce round-the-clock futures trading for several popular alternative cryptocurrencies, starting December 5th. This move underscores their growing focus on regulated crypto derivatives, catering to the rising demand for constant market access.Futures contracts for Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Hedera, Litecoin, Polkadot, Shiba Inu, Stellar, and SUI will be available 24/7, complementing existing always-on markets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP.Coinbase is also working on introducing perpetual-style futures for these altcoins in the U.S., designed to mimic popular perpetual swaps and settle with a five-year expiry.This expansion follows Coinbases launch of 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum futures in May and long-dated futures in July, positioning them as the first major American platform for these structures within a compliant regulatory framework.With stronger institutional access and clear rules, Coinbase could attract more trading activity, potentially drawing users away from offshore platforms like Binance and Bybit.
