CME Group to Offer Round-the-Clock Crypto Derivatives Trading

CME Group plans to allow crypto derivatives to trade nearly 24/7 from May 29, subject to regulatory approval. The exchange will have a short weekly maintenance window and trades executed during this time will be recorded with a trade date of the following business day. This move aims to reduce the mismatch between US market hours and crypto's weekend volatility, allowing institutional investors to adjust positions in real time during periods of heightened volatility.
