Coinbase Adds 24/7 Monthly Futures for SHIB, XLM, DOGE and ADA

Published at 2025-12-05 19:16:18

Coinbase Derivatives announced on Dec. 5, 2025 that it is rolling out 24/7 trading for monthly futures contracts on ADA, DOGE, SHIB and XLM. The newly available contracts run on a monthly expiry cadence and join the exchange’s broader derivatives offerings, letting traders take continuous exposure to these popular altcoins without the daytime-only restrictions seen on some venues.

The expansion matters because round‑the‑clock futures can tighten spreads, boost liquidity, and provide more reliable hedging and price discovery for both retail and institutional participants. Listing meme and non‑EVM tokens on a regulated derivatives desk signals growing mainstream acceptance and could pull more order flow onto centralized, compliant markets—though elevated volatility and margin risk remain key considerations for traders.
