CME officially launches 24/7 cryptocurrency futures and options trading, with first weekend exceeding $50 million in volume

2 hours ago

June 2: Official sources confirm that CME Group—the world’s largest derivatives exchange group—has launched a 24/7 continuous trading mechanism for its cryptocurrency futures and options products. The new session went live on May 29, marking the first time a regulated traditional derivatives market has fully adopted round-the-clock trading for crypto assets. Over the first weekend following the launch, CME data shows more than 7,200 crypto futures and options contracts were traded, with a nominal volume of roughly $50 million. This figure highlights immediate demand from both institutional and retail investors for weekend liquidity in the crypto space. Tim McCourt, CME’s Global Head of Equity Index and Alternative Investment Products, noted that cryptocurrencies trade nonstop by nature, so CME’s round-the-clock framework is designed to bridge the time gap between regulated traditional markets and crypto spot markets. The goal is to enable uninterrupted price discovery and risk management for all participants. Additionally, CME’s newly launched Bitcoin Volatility Futures are also operating on a 24/7 basis. This product lets investors directly trade the 30-day implied volatility of Bitcoin without taking on exposure to Bitcoin’s price swings. Market participants say the move signals deepening convergence between traditional finance and the crypto sector. Following spot ETFs, tokenized assets, and stablecoins, regulated crypto derivatives are shifting to the same round-the-clock trading model as spot markets. This trend is expected to drive more institutional involvement and improve weekend market liquidity overall.

Kelp DAO Hacker Has Successfully Laundered Funds, with Approximately $220 million of Unfrozen Funds Almost Entirely Moved Out of Traceability

As of June 2, the April cross-chain bridge attack on Kelp DAO resulted in the theft of roughly $292 million in assets. Of that total, about $71 million in ETH has been frozen, while the remaining $220 million has been mostly laundered. The attacker’s original wallet now holds just around $1.7 million in assets. On-chain analysis indicates the hacker deployed privacy tools including THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, and Umbra to carry out multiple rounds of cross-chain swaps and coin mixing, leaving the majority of the stolen funds untraceable. Investigators previously identified the attack as the work of North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group (also known as TraderTraitor/UNC4899). The day after the breach, the attacker split roughly 75,700 ETH — worth approximately $175 million at the time — into several new addresses, bridged the funds to the Bitcoin network via THORChain, then mixed them using Wasabi CoinJoin and Tornado Cash. This activity briefly pushed THORChain’s daily transacti
