24/7 Markets
A 24/7 market is a market that can operate continuously, including outside traditional exchange hours and across weekends. Blockchain networks can technically allow token transfers and trading infrastructure to operate at any time.
Why it matters to you
Continuous markets can give investors greater flexibility over when they transact. However, a token trading 24/7 does not mean the underlying asset or traditional market is also trading. Liquidity may be lower outside normal market hours, and the reference price of the underlying asset may not be updating at the same time.
