Crypto economic calendar FAQ
When is the next FOMC meeting?
The table lists every upcoming rate decision the Federal Reserve has published. Each meeting runs two days; the policy statement comes at 2:00 pm Eastern time on the second day and the Chair's press conference at 2:30 pm. Meetings marked SEP also release the Summary of Economic Projections (the dot plot).
When do Bitcoin options expire?
Monthly BTC and ETH options on Deribit, Bybit and Binance expire on the last Friday of the month at 08:00 UTC. The March, June, September and December expiries are quarterly and usually carry the most open interest. Weekly and daily expiries are on the options pages.
When do CME Bitcoin futures expire?
CME Bitcoin futures stop trading at 4:00 pm London time on the last Friday of the contract month. If that Friday is a London or US holiday (Good Friday, Christmas, Boxing Day), the prior business day applies.
