CME to Launch 24/7 Crypto Trading Starting May 29, 2026
- 24/7 Trading Launch: CME is set to initiate 24/7 crypto trading on May 29, 2026, allowing investors to trade Bitcoin and Ether futures and options over the weekend for the first time, which is expected to eliminate the Bitcoin weekend price gap and enhance market liquidity.
- Surge in Trading Volume: In 2025, CME's crypto derivatives reached a notional volume of $3 trillion, with a year-to-date increase of approximately 47% in 2026, reflecting a significant rise in client demand for risk management in the digital asset market, prompting CME's new trading initiative.
- Increased Importance of Mondays: The new trading schedule means that trades from Friday to Sunday will be settled on Monday, making Monday the formal trade date for weekend activities, thus traders need to pay close attention to Monday's market dynamics to manage potential liquidity risks.
- Volatility Management: While 24/7 trading is expected to reduce weekend price gaps, experts caution that weekend liquidity may still be thin, potentially leading to increased price volatility, hence traders should remain vigilant regarding market fluctuations on Mondays.
