CME to Offer 24/7 Crypto Risk Management in 2026
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Institutional investors will soon be able to manage their crypto exposure at any time, day or night. The CME Group announced it will make its cryptocurrency futures and options available for continuous, 24/7 trading starting in early 2026.
This “always on” model directly addresses a major pain point for clients who have needed to hedge or adjust positions in a market that never closes. “Market participants need to manage their risk every day of the week,” explained CME’s Tim McCourt.
The move aligns the regulated exchange’s hours with the underlying crypto spot markets, providing a seamless and secure tool for global investors to react to news and price movements in real-time.
