Dear @SECPaulSAtkins and @CarolineDPham
The call for 24/7 crypto trading on the CME Group has never been more urgent. Many traders, especially retail ones, are experiencing significant challenges due to the current trading schedule. As noted by MartyParty in a recent tweet, the gaps created from Friday to Sunday are not just inconvenient; they’re actively hurting traders and disrupting the integrity of the asset class.
The crypto market operates continuously, unlike traditional financial markets. This disparity leaves retail traders vulnerable when traditional exchanges close for the weekend. Gaps in trading can lead to price volatility that many traders aren’t prepared for, which is a pressing concern.
We have to trade crypto on the CME Group 24/7 365. This is more than a preference; it’s a necessity. The ability to trade around the clock would create a more balanced and fair trading environment, leveling the playing field for all participants.
Retail traders often find themselves at a disadvantage compared to institutional investors who have more resources and can react quickly to market changes. The current restrictions exacerbate this issue, as they can lead to unanticipated losses. By enabling continuous trading, we can help mitigate these risks and foster a healthier market environment for everyone involved.
So, what’s the hold-up? It’s time for regulatory bodies and exchanges to recognize the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency trading and adapt accordingly. The future of trading is here, and it’s time for the CME Group to embrace a 24/7 trading model. Let’s make crypto trading accessible and fair for all!
