Financial markets are beginning to move beyond the traditional opening bell.
While stock exchanges still operate within fixed trading hours, crypto markets run continuously — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
That shift is changing how exchanges, trading infrastructure, and investors think about market access.
In an interview with TheStreet Roundtable’sAlp Gasimov, Decibel Foundation’s Brylee Whatley explained why perpetualdecentralized exchanges, also known as perpDEXs, could become an important part of that evolution.
“What we’re seeing is the evolution across the board as more and more exchanges, more and more even ATSs are looking towards extended market hours,” Whatley said.
For many traditional investors, perpetual futures may appear to be just another trading product.
But according to Whatley, the more important shift is the infrastructure behind them — markets designed to operate continuously, settle instantly, and function without traditional intermediaries.
Traditional financial markets have always relied on downtime.
When markets close, institutions reconcile trades, review books, settle transactions, and manage operational risk before reopening the next day.
Crypto markets changed that model entirely.
“You have to make sure your systems work 24-7, 365, and never have a problem,” Whatley said.
That operational shift has created demand for more resilient trading systems capable of handling continuous global activity.
