Coinbase Derivatives Launches Non-Stop Futures for Popular Altcoins
- The launch will happen on December 5, 2025, and trading will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- Covers altcoins including ADA, AVAX, DOGE, SHIB, and more.
- Follows Coinbase’s big buyout of Deribit for $2.9 billion.
The U.S. government regulates Coinbase Derivatives, which is making a big change in the way people trade cryptocurrencies. They are adding futures contracts that are always on for a lot of altcoins. This means that people can buy and sell these all day, every day.
Coins Getting the Upgrade
Avalanche (AVAX), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), Dogecoin (DOGE), Hedera (HBAR), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Stellar (XLM), and SUI are all new to the list. These are in addition to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, which already have options available 24/7.
These futures will run all the time starting on December 5. They’ll use a “perp-style” setup, which keeps prices close to the real market value by changing the funding rates. Contracts can last up to five years, which gives traders more options. You can make a long-term bet on coin prices without having to close it right away. Coinbase has done this before. They added 24/7 for Bitcoin and Ethereum in May and perp styles in July. Now, they’re casting a wider net to get more people.
