The traditional finance sector operates within strict business hours, while cryptocurrency exchanges are open 24/7, allowing traders worldwide to react to market events in real-time. Recent analysis shows increased trading activity during weekends, with volumes reaching up to 80% higher for certain cryptocurrencies. Retail investors find weekends more conducive to trading due to their busy schedules during weekdays. Positive news can lead to rapid price movements during weekend trading sessions. VALR, Africa's largest digital asset trading platform, has introduced a Weekend Trading Challenge, offering traders the chance to win a share of $12,000 in crypto rewards and enjoy fee reductions. This initiative aims to maximize trading opportunities as cryptocurrency adoption continues to grow.
