Coinbase has launched a 24-7 trading service for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, enabling U.S. traders to engage in crypto futures trading round-the-clock. This initiative responds to strong demand from traders and allows for real-time management of risk due to price movements. Coinbase is working with Nodal Clear for the service's implementation. The launch follows the company’s announcement of acquiring options exchange Deribit for $2.9 billion, comprised of $700 million in cash and company shares. The acquisition is set to strengthen Coinbase's derivatives business. Following the announcement, Coinbase's stock experienced a slight decline, although the company noted a general recovery in the crypto market under favorable conditions. Futures trading represents a shift in market structure, allowing customers to respond to market events continuously.
