The change, expected to begin in early 2026 pending regulatory approval, would bring CME\u2019s offerings in line with the nonstop nature of global crypto markets.<\/p>\n
\u201cClient demand for around-the-clock cryptocurrency trading has grown as market participants need to manage their risk every day of the week,\u201d said Tim McCourt, CME\u2019s global head of equities, FX, and alternative products. He added that ensuring CME\u2019s regulated crypto markets remain continuously open will allow institutions to trade \u201cwith confidence at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently, CME\u2019s crypto derivatives, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) futures and options,\u00a0are only available during standard business hours and pause trading on weekends. The upcoming model would eliminate those gaps, allowing access via CME Globex every day of the week, with only a brief weekly maintenance window.<\/p>\n
