Bitcoin traded little changed on Sunday as CME Group launched round-the-clock trading for its cryptocurrency futures and options products.
Bitcoin was trading up 0.49% at $73,858.5 amid muted market sentiment.
The world’s largest derivatives exchange said its crypto futures and options suite is now available 24 hours a day, seven days a week through its CME Globex platform.
The move brings CME’s trading schedule closer to the always-open nature of cryptocurrency spot markets.
CME said its crypto products generated nearly $3 trillion in notional trading volume in 2025, highlighting growing institutional demand.
The exchange currently offers futures and options tied to bitcoin and ether, along with newer contracts linked to XRP and Solana.
The expanded trading hours could provide greater flexibility to hedge positions during periods of heightened volatility.
