Binance VIP and Institutional head Catherine Chen said hedge funds are showing interest in arbitrage on crypto venues, including trades tied to cash equities and perpetual futures. She also said deeper liquidity, 24/7 trading, and weekend price discovery are part of what makes those venues relevant, while institutional adoption is still early and may develop over the next 12 to 18 months.

What it means
Hedge funds are the group most directly affected, because the trading setup they are exploring is already active on crypto venues and includes arbitrage tied to cash equities and perpetual futures. Traders looking at those venues today can use continuous markets and weekend price discovery, and that is the practical change described here. (per crypto-economy.com)
Compared with markets that close, the setup now described includes 24/7 trading and weekend price discovery, alongside deeper liquidity. What stays the same is that institutional adoption remains early, so the broader trading pattern is not yet established as a finished shift.
