Traditional equity markets operate for around 8 hours a day, five days a week. But crypto markets work differently—they remain open 24/7.

Markets can move at any hour, and important news doesn’t wait for the opening bell. That is one reason 24/7 perpetual markets have become an important part of crypto trading.

However, constant market access also means traders need stronger risk management, because volatility can happen at any time.

Crypto never sleeps — and neither does market risk.
