CME to launch 24/7 crypto trading in 2026

 CME Group announced on Thursday that it plans to make its cryptocurrency futures and options tradable "24 hours a day, seven days a week" starting in early 2026, subject to regulatory approval.

Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equities, FX and Alternative Products, said that "client demand for around-the-clock cryptocurrency trading has grown," stressing that continuous access will let participants "trade with confidence at any time." Trading will take place on CME Globex with a short weekly maintenance window, while weekend and holiday trades will carry the following business day’s date for clearing and reporting.

The move follows record volumes in 2025, including a "notional open interest of $39 billion on September 18" and over 1,010 large holders across crypto products by late September.
