🔔 The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is considering switching to a 24/7 trading mode, reports the Financial Times.
And this is not a coincidence — Nasdaq, NYSE, and Cboe Global Markets have already filed applications to extend trading hours.
🤯 What is happening?
The whole world is restructuring to a new rhythm:
📱 People are trading from smartphones.
🌎 Financial markets are becoming global.
🕒 Limited hours 'from 10 to 18' are no longer needed by anyone.

🧩 And now the main question — what does this mean for the crypto market?
1️⃣ Crypto is no longer the "underdog" — it is a trendsetter.
Who was the first to propose 24/7 trading without weekends?
✅ Cryptocurrencies.
Now the classics are just trying to catch up with Web3.
2️⃣ Investors are increasingly adapting to 24/7.
When millions of people get used to trading at any time —
📈 It's easier for them to switch to crypto, where liquidity and opportunities don't end with the stock exchange closing.
3️⃣ The boundary between tradition and crypto is blurring.
Tokenization of assets, Bitcoin ETFs, stablecoins, DeFi integration —
all of this is already bringing worlds closer together.
Now even trading hours are a common zone.

⚠️ But there's a catch:
Crypto exchanges are losing the exclusivity of "we trade 24/7",
but in return, they gain an influx of capital and interest from traditional stock market players.
⠀
This means — the crypto market is becoming more mature, volumes and volatility may increase.
⠀
💡 Conclusion:
Crypto is not losing — it is setting the rules.
If the largest exchanges in the world are copying Web3 —
this is already a victory of the digital revolution.
📌 The question is not 'if', but 'how quickly' everything will become 24/7.
