Coinbase Adds 24/7 Futures Trading for SHIB, BCH, DOGE and Other Altcoins
Coinbase Markets announced it will offer 24/7 futures trading for leading altcoins such as SHIB, BCH and DOGE, extending its push into regulated crypto derivatives. The platform says the change responds to accelerating demand for continuous market access and aims to give traders persistent hedging and exposure options beyond spot trading windows.
The shift could tighten spreads and boost liquidity as more retail and institutional flow moves into around‑the‑clock contracts, but it also raises risk-management needs because volatility can persist outside traditional hours. For market participants, the update signals broader normalization of perpetual and listed futures for major meme and legacy altcoins, and underscores Coinbase’s strategy to capture derivatives volume under regulated oversight.
