Coinbase Derivatives is looking to launch round-the-clock futures trading of Rippleās XRP and Solana (SOL) on June 13, in an effort to bridge the gap between fixed trading hours and the 24/7 nature of the crypto market.
Coinbase Derivatives, the firmās CFTC-regulated derivatives arm, will enable the round-the-clock futures contracts trading for both retail and institutional users.
The announcement follows Coinbase Derivativesā recent introduction of 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, which made the entity the first CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange to offer round-the-clock access to crypto futures contracts in the US. The move came just a day after Coinbase announced it would acquire the derivatives exchange Deribit in a $2.9 billion deal to boost derivatives offerings.
By debuting these products, Coinbase is positioning itself to grab a huge share of the trillion-dollar derivatives market. The company noted that derivatives now make up over 75% of global crypto trading volume. With the new offerings, Coinbase aims to tap into that increasing demand, providing US traders with more tools to remain active in a market that never sleeps.
āThe arrival of 24/7 CFTC-regulated markets is a game-changer for the industry,ā Coinbase Financial Markets CEO Andy Sears said in a statement.
The launch comes at a time when several investment managers, such as Bitwise, Grayscale, Canary Capital, 21Shares, and Franklin Templeton, have submitted paperwork with the SEC for spot XRP and SOL exchange-traded funds (ETFs) amid shifting regulatory winds in the US.Ā
Bloomberg Intelligence analysts last month upped their estimated odds of US regulators approving a SOL exchange-traded fund (ETF) in 2025 to 90%. They pegged an 85% chance of approval to funds holding XRP.
XRP was trading at $2.19 as of press time, after dropping 4.6% in the last 24 hours after a U.S. appeals court temporarily reinstated Trumpās sweeping tariffs, rattling investor confidence and triggering a crypto market-wide sell-off. Meanwhile, SOL slid 5.5% to $161.32, per CoinGecko.
