As a result, weekend trading has been on a downward trend since 2021 and is now at an all-time low.

Also, the closing of banks like Signature and Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023. had an impact on weekend trading. These banks had 24/7 networks for large crypto transactions, but their absence reduced the willingness of market makers to trade during periods of low volume.
