CME Group Plans Around-the-Clock BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP Futures and Options Trading From May 29, 2026
On May 29, 2026, CME Group plans to introduce 24/7 trading for its cryptocurrency futures and options, subject to final regulatory approval. The new schedule will cover products tied to Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP and other recently listed tokens, and is designed to mirror the continuous trading seen in spot crypto markets. The change follows record notional volumes in 2025 and rising institutional participation in CME's digital asset contracts.
