Wedbush Launches Full Support for CME Group's 24/7 Cryptocurrency Futures Trading

Wedbush Securities said Thursday it has launched full support for CME Group's 24/7 cryptocurrency futures trading, enabling clients to trade regulated digital asset futures around the clock. The Pasadena, Calif.-based financial services firm said the rollout gives professional traders, institutions and introducing brokers uninterrupted access to digital asset markets and risk management tools.

The move builds on Wedbush's existing 24/7 derivatives capabilities, which already include support for the Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, CME's prediction market offering, and Crypto.com Derivatives North America (CDNA). The firm said the expanded coverage strengthens its position as a provider of multi-asset clearing, execution and technology solutions for clients seeking access to next-generation global markets.

Wedbush noted that it has been operating round-the-clock for over a year and was prepared on day one of CME Group's launch. The firm said its ongoing investment in operations, technology and infrastructure allowed it to support clients at the forefront of financial market innovation.

"Cryptocurrency markets operate continuously, and as financial innovation accelerates, our clients expect the same level of access, reliability, and support from their clearing and execution partner," said Bob Fitzsimmons, executive vice president of Wedbush Securities. "Our responsibility is to ensure clients can access new opportunities with confidence."

Fitzsimmons added that Wedbush remains committed to providing the technology, expertise and service needed to participate in evolving global markets. The company's investments in technology talent, infrastructure and in-house capabilities are intended to keep it prepared for client demand across digital assets, prediction markets and other emerging market structures.
