CME Group Launches Continuous Trading Hours for Crypto Derivatives
The world’s leading derivatives exchange, CME Group, announced that it will open trading for cryptocurrency futures and options products for seven days a week, around the clock, starting from May 29, 2026. With this move, the Chicago-based exchange aims to align the operating hours of traditional financial markets with the 24/7 structure of the crypto ecosystem. The company also said that, as part of its strategy to expand its product lineup, it will launch the Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI) contracts.
The transition to a continuous trading model for crypto futures will begin on Friday, May 29, at (CT) 16.00 Central Time (CT). Under this new system, which is subject to approval by regulatory authorities, continuous trading will be available via the CME Globex platform, but there will be a brief two-hour maintenance break on weekends. For settlement, netting, and reporting processes of transactions conducted on weekends or holidays, the records will be made on the date of the next business day.
