Ever heard of an ETF that only trades Bitcoin after dark? That's exactly what the AfterDark ETF is designed to do.

Here's the twist: this fund accumulates BTC right when U.S. markets shut down for the day, then exits positions before the opening bell. The logic? A significant chunk of Bitcoin's price action historically happens outside traditional trading hours.

Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas is backing the thesis that overnight sessions capture most of BTC's gains. If the pattern holds, this time-specific strategy might actually deliver superior performance compared to standard 24/7 holding approaches.

Expected rollout is roughly 75 days out. Whether this nocturnal strategy proves profitable or just becomes another footnote in crypto innovation remains to be seen.

BTC-2,33%

Another new trick to trap retail investors? Only trade Bitcoin at night. I've heard this logic a hundred times before.

Another new trick called "Night Arbitrage" is here. I just want to ask: can this really appear stably? Or will it be slapped in the face again by reality?

Doing more tricks again? Night trading ETFs? Sounds like it's meant for insomnia-ridden crypto folks...

Eating at night? The crypto circle is starting to play with time differences again. Will this be a way to make money or just another new trick to cut leeks?

Another story of "I discovered the market law," this time about the dark magic of overnight trading? LOL, even the supply and demand curve makes you shake your head.
