The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has transitioned to 24/7 trading for Bitcoin futures and options on its Globex platform, effectively eliminating the long-standing weekend trading gap that traders often exploited. This change allows institutional investors, such as asset managers and hedge funds, to manage their Bitcoin exposure continuously without waiting for traditional market openings. While this shift marks a significant improvement in market efficiency, CME's liquidity in Bitcoin options remains considerably lower than that of competitors like BlackRock's IBIT ETF options, which boast an open interest of approximately $27 billion to $30 billion compared to CME's $800 million to $900 million. Currently, three CME gaps exist, with two above Bitcoin's spot price of around $73,000 and one below it. The transition to continuous trading is expected to reduce weekend risk premia, although brief volatility may still occur during the weekly maintenance window.
