Coinbase Markets is preparing to roll out round-the-clock futures trading for a number of major altcoins, expanding its push into regulated crypto derivatives as demand for continued access grows.
Starting December 5, futures linked to , , chain link , Hedera (HBAR), , , Stellar (XLM) and SUI will trade 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the exchange said in an announcement on X.

The expansion builds on Coinbase Derivatives’ existing permanent markets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP, which include standard contracts and nano-sized products aimed at retail.
In addition to the schedule change, Coinbase is also working to introduce perpetual-style futures in the US for the same basket of altcoins.
These contracts mimic the structure of crypto-native perpetual swaps (which use funding rates to keep prices tied to spot), but will be set to a five-year maturity rather than the indefinite format used overseas.
The exchange launched 24/7 BTC and ETH futures in May and brought long-term futures to the US in July, positioning itself as the first major US venue to offer those structures under a compliant framework.
Most liquidity in non-BTC/ETH futures is still located offshore, particularly on Binance and Bybit.
A native US alternative with deeper institutional access and clearer rules can gradually redirect order flow, especially if funding markets remain volatile and regulatory pressure continues to shape offshore activity.
