24/7 Trading Coming to SHIB, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, and Additional Cryptos on Coinbase

Coinbase Expands 24/7 Futures Trading to Major Altcoins

Coinbase Markets is set to roll out around-the-clock futures trading for a selection of leading altcoins, reinforcing its push into regulated crypto derivatives amid growing demand for nonstop market access.

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

Alongside the schedule shift, Coinbase is introducing U.S. perpetual-style futures for the same altcoin basket. These contracts resemble crypto-native perpetual swaps—using funding rates to align prices with spot markets—but will settle on a five-year expiry, rather than the indefinite format typically offered on offshore platforms.

Coinbase first launched 24/7 BTC and ETH futures in May and later added long-dated futures in the U.S. in July, becoming the first major American exchange to offer such structures under a fully compliant framework.

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