1.4.2 The trading time is excessively long

The crypto market operates 24/7, with a weekly trading duration of 168 hours—more than eight times that of the stock market! Even compared to the global foreign exchange market, the crypto market has an additional 30% of trading time. Moreover, the daily trading volume in the foreign exchange market has a distinct temporal distribution, with some periods having such low trading volume and market volatility that they can be virtually ignored. This extended trading period also poses a significant challenge for quantitative trading.
