Weekend activity in CME's crypto futures and options jumped 55% from September as its 24/7 trading model gains traction Crypto markets have never cared what day it is. CME Group’s crypto desk, until recently, did. That gap is closing. Crypto weekend trading at CME Group reached $1.3 billion in notional volume in October 2026. Average daily weekend volume climbed 55% from September to a record $340 million. The figures are the clearest sign yet that CME’s round-the-clock crypto experiment is working. It launched in May 2026, so it is barely half a year old.
