According to The White House (@WhiteHouse), Memorial Day 2025 is observed as a day to honor fallen heroes in the United States, leading to closures in U.S. stock markets such as NYSE and NASDAQ (source: The White House, May 26, 2025). For cryptocurrency traders, this holiday often results in reduced liquidity and higher volatility in major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as traditional finance participants are absent and trading volumes shift to crypto exchanges. Traders should monitor for price swings and potential arbitrage opportunities during U.S. public holidays when traditional markets are closed, as historical data shows increased volatility in crypto trading during these periods (source: CoinDesk, 2023).
