Crypto Futures
Coinbase has introduced futures contracts for cryptocurrency trading in 26 European countries, marking its first direct derivatives offering in the region. The products, available through Coinbase Advanced, comply with EU regulations via a MiFID-registered entity. This launch provides a regulated alternative to offshore platforms previously used by European traders.

CME Group, the world's largest financial derivatives exchange, plans to introduce round-the-clock trading for cryptocurrency futures and options on its CME Globex platform starting May 29, pending U.S. regulatory approval. The move responds to surging client demand in the digital asset market. Trading will include a brief weekly maintenance break but operate continuously otherwise.
