Coinbase Pushes Gold and Silver Trading Toward 24/7 Markets

  • —GOLD-PERP and SILVER-PERP are available to eligible non-US traders, settled in USDC
  • —US-regulated futures move toward 24/7 trading through Coinbase Derivatives, a CFTC-regulated DCM
  • —Hybrid index mechanisms keep perpetual prices aligned when traditional markets are closed
  • —Traders face leverage, margin and liquidation risks; no physical metal delivery
Why it matters: Crypto venues are testing always-on trading of traditional assets, intensifying competition with conventional futures markets.
