The bitcoin price “flash crash," coming outside of the traditional market trading hours, has led to a warning over the wildly popular bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), led by BlackRock’s near-$100 billion IBIT, which are bound by stock market opening times, leaving holders unable to react to weekend bitcoin price swings.

Whoops. Seems like if you can invest in the underlying asset that might be a better idea than trying to trade a 24/7 asset during business hours only.
