These operations function without traditional market closures, enabling constant price discovery and liquidity across various assets. This always-open characteristic contrasts sharply with conventional financial markets, which adhere to fixed operating hours. The perpetual availability significantly impacts market volatility and accessibility for a global participant base.

Regulators grapple with establishing appropriate oversight mechanisms for these ceaseless operations. This ongoing discussion aims to balance innovation with safeguards against market manipulation and financial instability.
