Report: Sundays See Bitcoin Trading Spike Linked to Institutional Market Hours

The study reveals bitcoin’s average daily 1% market depth—a measure of liquidity—tends to dip midweek, hitting lows on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, then climbing to peaks by Friday. This diverges from 2024, when weekends posted the shallowest liquidity. Saturday and Sunday transaction levels have climbed this year, with Sundays displaying the sharpest rise.

A pronounced jump in Sunday activity near 23:00 UTC aligns with the launch of CME Futures trading, implying institutional players are steering this change. “Demand for continuous trading by traditional investors has been growing, pushing two of the biggest U.S. stock exchanges—Nasdaq and the NYSE—to offer round-the-clock trading,” the analysis observed.

Kaiko Research experts argue this mirrors wider investor appetites for ceaseless market entry, buoying bitcoin’s weekend traction. Despite gains, Kaiko researchers further detailed that bitcoin has lagged behind gold in 2025, with the shiny yellow metal outshining BTC so far this year. Gold’s resilience spotlights the enduring rivalry between classic stability assets and digital alternatives.

Kaiko’s findings illuminate shifting bitcoin trading rhythms as the asset matures. While weekends regain momentum, midweek lethargy reflects persistent unpredictability. Liquidity providers now favor weekends, which may steady prices during once-dormant windows. The insights showcase BTC’s evolving stature in global finance, navigating institutional embrace amid unresolved hurdles.
