Nighttime Bitcoin ETF? Yeah, Because Who Doesn’t Want More Soup in Their Stock Stew

by

So, Nicholas Financial, the boutique wizard guys (they sound fancy, right?), have decided to roll out a new Bitcoin ETF-wait for it-only at night. Because apparently, Bitcoin sleeps, too. You know, the quiet hours where nothing’s happening but hey, maybe something’s brewing?

Eric Balchunas, the big wise ETF analyst guy, calls it “Bitcoin After Dark.” Sounds spooky, or maybe like a weird band name. 🎸

This ETF’s whole deal? It buys Bitcoin when the stock market shuts down (at 4:00 p.m. ET) and then sells it when the market opens again-at 9:30 a.m. ET. Nighttime ninja trading! 🥋

If it’s not holding Bitcoin, it chills in U.S. Treasuries-those boring, low-risk government IOUs, because what’s more exciting than risk-free investments? “Hey, look, I’m preserving my capital, and I’m doing it at night, so I don’t have to see all the chaos,” said no one ever.

Balchunas is tossing around predictions that this thing might give higher returns. Big surprise-because what’s more reliable than a guy who predicts the weather in April? ☀️🌧️

Hey, does Bitcoin actually do better when the lights go out?

Turns out, all the data from the last decade suggests that Bitcoin has a bit of a night owl streak-they say during after-hours, it’s more lively (or violent, depending on who’s trading). Over the years, the data’s been pretty clear: Bitcoin sometimes makes more money when everyone else is sleeping. Who knew?

But hold on-there’s a catch. It’s riskier. Thinner liquidity, more volatility-the kind of stuff that makes your stomach churn. And listen, this isn’t just Bitcoin being special; stocks and forex also seem to have a thing for late-night craziness. So, is it worth it? Eh, maybe. Or maybe it’s just another excuse to stay up late and worry about your money. 💸
