Coinbase is bringing a major change to the US cryptocurrency trading landscape, launching 24/7 access to altcoin perpetual futures for select users starting December 5th, 2025. This move expands on Coinbase Derivatives Exchange’s existing offerings and sets a new precedent for regulated crypto derivatives in the U.S., potentially driving increased activity among retail and institutional traders. 24/7 trading will focus on popular altcoins like Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Dogecoin (DOGE). This change is expected to significantly increase access to these assets, bridging the gap left by unregulated platforms. Coinbase’s regulatory approach aims to attract institutional capital and potentially bolster market stability.
