Starting June 13, eligible U S users can trade gold and silver futures 24/7 through Coinbase Derivatives, the company’s CFTC-regulated venue. That is a shift for traders who wanted regulated precious-metals exposure but had to work around set exchange hours. In practical terms, it means reacting to overnight moves in inflation expectations, central-bank headlines, or geopolitical shocks without waiting for the market to reopen.
Coinbase Derivatives was already seeing meaningful activity in traditional commodity futures: in the first quarter of 2026, it handled more than $52 billion in notional volume, and those contracts made up 7.6% of all contracts traded on the venue. The broader significance here is that round-the-clock market access, long familiar in crypto, is now being applied to gold and silver futures inside a regulated U S structure.
Coinbase turning U S gold and silver futures into a 24/7 market is the test for always-on, crypto-style regulated trading.
