Coinbase announced on June 13 that gold and silver futures are now available for 24/7 trading to U.S. traders through Coinbase Derivatives, a CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market. The move follows the CFTC's approval on June 11 of Coinbase Financial Markets as the first futures commission merchant cleared to offer U.S. traders direct access to global crypto perpetual futures.
Coinbase Derivatives reported over $52 billion in notional volume across traditional commodity futures in the first quarter of 2026. The metals contracts use crypto-style design with smaller order sizes, USDC settlement, and leverage options, targeting both retail and institutional traders seeking continuous market access.
