The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is planning to extend its trading hours to nearly 24/7, which has the potential to negatively impact Bitcoin and the US economy. The move towards continuous trading is driven by the growing demand from retail investors who want to trade stocks at any time. Robinhood and Charles Schwab have already begun offering overnight trading. However, there are concerns about the impact on the stock market, such as redefining the closing price and increased volatility. This shift could also steal Bitcoin's appeal as a 24/7 alternative investment, as investors may opt for more stable stocks instead. On the other hand, the non-stop market could attract foreign investors and increase the prominence of US equities in the global economy. It also presents challenges for regulatory bodies in preventing market manipulation. Furthermore, continuous trading means economic indicators and global events can trigger immediate reactions in different markets at any hour. Overall, the move towards non-stop trading has both positive and negative implications for the markets and investors.
