Talking Gold, Crude, Equities, Predictions And More With Coinbase

Why It Matters

Around-the-clock trading and expansion into traditional commodities could reshape liquidity and price discovery, amplify retail participation, and intensify competition among derivatives venues. If approved, 24/7 metals futures would mark a structural shift in how U.S. investors access precious-metals markets.

Summary

Coinbase’s derivatives arm has rapidly broadened beyond crypto, reporting record volumes in metals, oil and natural gas as retail demand surged. The exchange already offers 24/7 crypto futures and long-dated US-style perpetuals across more than 20 tokens, and plans to add HYPE and BNB perpetuals in early June. Coinbase is preparing to take gold and silver futures to 24/7 trading—potentially the first U.S. futures exchange to enable weekend trading for those contracts. Management credits the product expansion and around-the-clock access for driving significant diversification and growth in volumes.
