Off-Hours Instruments to Trade

I am looking for futures contracts to trade at night or very early morning. I have read that trading the mini-Hang Seng Index might be an option, but was wondering if anyone had suggestions for some other instruments to trade that have decent volume/volatility? Anything else in Asia or Australia perhaps? Eurex? Thanks in advance.

Eurex is closed at this time, it opens at 1 am CT, but in some weeks, the Eurex will extend their trading-hours.

Have you considered btc futures? or spot (trades 24/7)

CME BTC futures do not trade 24/7, Are you referring to another future player? would be curious on that

Hope its available to everyone and not restricted like most Bitcoin exchanges are

CL has some decent moves sometimes at the beginning of the Euro session @ 9pm EST.

Here's a dozen european contracts that would be liquid very early morning (starting 3am ept/euro open)
