Coinbase Unveils Always-On Gold and Silver Trading Through Derivatives Platform
Coinbase is pushing gold and silver trading towards 24/7 availability through its derivatives platform. The company has already launched perpetual futures contracts for eligible non-US traders, allowing them to trade gold and silver with continuous leveraged exposure settled in USDC.
For US-regulated commodity futures, Coinbase Derivatives will be used as the designated contract market. This regulated route is available only to eligible US users. The products provide derivatives exposure rather than physical bullion ownership.
Coinbase's metals push aims to bring the always-on model of crypto trading to gold and silver price exposure. Traditional commodities markets operate around established exchange schedules, but crypto traders are used to continuous trading, including weekends and overnight periods.
