Cboe Global Markets is preparing to transform the U.S. crypto derivatives sector with the introduction of its

and Continuous Futures, which will debut on December 15, 2025. These offerings provide institutional investors with a regulated U.S. alternative to offshore perpetual futures.

This development meets the increasing need for long-term crypto investment options within the framework of U.S. regulations, such products are available in the U.S. market.

The futures will settle in cash and be cleared centrally by Cboe Clear U.S., which is overseen by the CFTC,

and allowing for cross-margining with other CFE-listed contracts such as Financially Settled Bitcoin (FBT) and Ether (FET) futures. Trading will be available 23 hours a day, five days a week, and ending Friday at 5 p.m. ET, making it accessible to both U.S. and global traders. Rob Hocking, Cboe’s Global Head of Derivatives, highlighted the significance: "Since perpetual futures have mainly been traded on offshore platforms, Cboe is thrilled to broaden access to these instruments within a regulated, transparent, and intermediary-friendly U.S. environment" .

This launch comes amid wider regulatory changes under the Trump administration, which has shown a willingness to embrace crypto innovation. In March, the CFTC sought public input on perpetual derivatives, and

to introduce CFTC-approved futures. Cboe’s Continuous Futures are designed to close the gap between conventional futures and the perpetual swaps favored on offshore exchanges, and risk management solutions for institutional clients.

Cboe’s initiative also comes as global competition in crypto derivatives intensifies. The Singapore Exchange (SGX) recently introduced its own perpetual futures on November 24,

. However, Cboe’s U.S.-regulated approach sets it apart by specifically addressing the needs of domestic institutional investors and adhering to more rigorous compliance requirements.
