Bitcoin Trading Time

Like other cryptocurrencies, the Bitcoin market is open 24/7. This is because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies run on a decentralized network of computers. When you trade Bitcoin, you will be able to use spread bets and Contracts for Difference to speculate on Bitcoin's price movements.

If you are not interested in either of the above transactions, you can always buy Bitcoin directly from the exchange. Bitcoin exchanges operate globally, so you can buy Bitcoin from exchanges anytime and anywhere. However, these hours are subject to exchange maintenance, meaning exchange hours may occasionally be restricted.

The best time to trade Bitcoin is when the market is most active. This is often difficult to predict as trading volume will depend on the day's news, sociopolitical events and market sentiment. However, based on past surveys of customer cryptocurrency trading volumes, you will typically find the highest liquidity around 8am when European markets open and around 5pm when European markets close.
