Never, ever, not ever... Run major updates to production... Near a weekend. Surely they're not going to complete the go-live later today are they?? I'm assuming of course all of this as been heavily tested on test networks for a couple weeks... and of course this is just some deployment issue... (Sarcasm)

Speaking in general terms, not running updates near a weekend is only so you know you have personnel on hand to fix problems. If you have the people available, then weekends are best, because it's usually a lower impact for end users.

  This varies industry by industry. As someone who runs a dating site, we've all but outlawed non-trivial Friday releases because Fri-Sun are peak days. It wouldn't surprise me if crypto volumes saw a similar trend... though in reality i suspect people account for a minority of volume when compared to bots.

I reckon you never worked in a Investment Bank. Weekends are often the only time to run major changes/upgrades.
