Global Markets Close Early for the New Year as Major Exchanges Shorten Trading Hours Worldwide

As year-end approaches, global markets trim activity for holidays, creating a liquidity pause that can ripple into crypto price discovery. While cryptocurrency trading remains 24/7, thinner cross-market participation may widen holiday liquidity effects and elevate intraday volatility in select pairs.

Across Asia and Europe, major exchanges reset hours: Japan and South Korea shorten sessions, Australia closes early, Hong Kong ends trading in the afternoon, and several European bourses par down liquidity. Such market closures can compress liquidity across global asset classes, including digital assets.

In the United States, New Year’s Day treasury futures operate within a limited window, and Brent crude futures trade within early-closure hours via ICE. These shifts underscore a holiday-driven liquidity tilt even for crypto.

Crypto desks should adjust risk settings and routing strategies accordingly, emphasizing risk management and robust order routing to navigate potential spreads during thin liquidity.

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Supply Held by Large Companies Revealed – Here Are the Latest Figures appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to BitcoinTreasuries data, institutions hold a total of 3.74 million Bitcoins, equivalent to approximately 17.8% of the current supply. These assets are held by ETFs, public companies, governments, private companies, exchanges, and DeFi protocols. ETFs and public companies, in particular, make up the largest portion of the total. According to the data, 332 institutions currently hold Bitcoin reserves, including 192 public companies, 44 ETFs or funds, 68 private companies, 13 governments, 11 DeFi protocols, and 4 exchanges/custodians. After accounting for the ~1.1 million BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto and the 2.3–3.7 million BTC thought to be missing, the 3.74 million BTC held by institutions equates to approximately 22.6%–24.7% of the available supply. The country with the largest Bitcoin holdings is the US (118), followed by Canada (43), the UK (21), Japan (12), and Hong Kong (12). The amount of Bitcoin held by institutions has increased significantly, particularly after the approval of cryptocurrency-holding ETFs in the US and the rise in the number of digital asset treasury companies. *This is not investment advice.

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
