CME Group to offer 24/7 crypto derivatives trading May 29, adding Avalanche and Sui contracts

CME Group is set to launch 24/7 trading for its cryptocurrency futures and options products starting May 29, aligning with the non-stop nature of crypto markets. This move follows similar expansions by crypto-native exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. In addition to enabling round-the-clock trading, CME Group will also introduce futures contracts for Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI) early next month, offering both normal and micro contract sizes. These additions expand CME's regulated crypto derivatives suite, which already includes contracts for Bitcoin, Ether, Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar, among others. The company, which entered the crypto space with Bitcoin futures in 2017 and Ether futures in 2021, reported significant open interest in its crypto products, reaching nearly $25 billion in average daily open interest in 2025.
