CME to Launch 24/7 Cryptocurrency Futures and Options Trading on May 29, 2026


CME Group announced today that its regulated cryptocurrency futures and options will be available for 24/7 trading (seven days a week, 24 hours a day) starting May 29 after regulatory review.
"Customer demand for risk management in digital asset markets is at an all-time high, driving our 2025 cryptocurrency futures and options nominal trading volume to a record $3 trillion," said Tim McCourt, CME Group Global Head of Equity, FX, and Alternative Products.
"While not all markets are suitable for 24/7 operation, providing always-available access to our regulated, transparent cryptocurrency products ensures clients can manage their exposure and trade confidently at any time."
Starting from 4:00 PM Central Time on Friday, May 29, CME Group cryptocurrency futures and options will trade continuously on CME Globex, with at least two hours of weekly maintenance time reserved on weekends.
All trading dates from Friday evening to Sunday evening during holidays or weekends will be considered the next business day, with settlement, clearing, and regulatory reporting also handled on the next business day.
