      The derivatives marketplace said trading will begin continuously on CME Globex from 4:00 p.m. CT on Friday, 29 May, with a minimum two-hour weekly maintenance window over the weekend.

      "Client demand for risk management in the digital asset market is at an all-time high, driving a record $3 trillion in notional volume across our Cryptocurrency futures and options in 2025. While not all markets lend themselves to operating 24/7, providing always-on access to our regulated, transparent Cryptocurrency products ensures clients can manage their exposure and trade with confidence at any time."

       

      The announcement comes as CME Group reports continued growth in cryptocurrency derivatives volumes in 2026. Year-to-date figures show average daily volume (ADV) of 407,200 contracts, up 46% year-on-year, alongside average daily open interest of 335,400 contracts, up 7% year-on-year. Futures ADV reached 403,900 contracts, representing a 47% year-on-year increase.
