The move expands access to Bitcoin futures with around-the-clock trading, signaling deeper integration of crypto-linked derivatives into mainstream brokerage offerings.
Charles Schwab has launched 24/7 Bitcoin futures trading, broadening customer access to crypto-linked derivatives. The development points to growing demand for always-on trading in digital asset markets, where Bitcoin trades continuously and investors increasingly want brokerage products that better match that schedule. Bitcoin futures let traders gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price through standardized derivatives contracts rather than holding the asset directly.
