Bitcoin’s famous CME gaps are about to disappear, though three remain unresolved

CME Group has transitioned to 24/7 Bitcoin futures trading, effectively eliminating traditional weekend price gaps despite three historical gaps remaining.Summary
CME Group has officially transitioned its Bitcoin futures and options trading to a 24/7 model on the Globex platform, aligning with the continuous nature of the cryptocurrency spot market. This move effectively ends the era of the "CME weekend gap," a structural inefficiency that historically caused volatility during Sunday reopens. While this change improves hedging efficiency for institutions, CME still trails competitors like BlackRock's IBIT ETF in total open interest. Despite the shift, three specific price gaps from earlier this year remain unresolved near the $80,000, $78,500, and $70,000 levels.
