Crypto markets operate 24/7. What if the price of Bitcoin drops over the weekend or after the ETF's trading hours?
You're right, ETFs have set trading hours, unlike crypto exchanges. Bitcoin trades 24/7 and has made significant double-digit moves on weekends. An ETF investor will have to wait until the market opens to enter or exit positions, and account for an additional processing time of orders. This means that when you place a buy or sell order for your ETF shares, you won't know the exact price at which the order will execute.
However, this structure also offers advantages, it can help you avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term volatility. Historically, most significant gains in Bitcoin have come from holding it over longer periods, not from short-term trading.
