Wall Street just moved a step closer to crypto’s pace.

CME Group plans to switch on round-the-clock futures and options trading on May 29 — meaning institutional money won’t have to wait for Monday opens anymore. Weekend gaps, delayed hedges, and “market closed” excuses start fading from here.

This isn’t a small tweak. Demand has already pushed crypto derivatives volumes into record territory, and the shift signals that traditional finance is adapting to a market that never sleeps.

The clock changes first. The behavior follows after.
