Bloomberg: 24-Hour US Stock Trading Era Nears as Major Exchanges Speed Up After-Hours Push

According to ChainCatcher, citing Bloomberg, major US exchanges are drawing up plans to expand stock trading beyond traditional hours, potentially ushering in a 24-hour trading era. NYSE and Nasdaq already offer pre- and after-market trading, though activity is typically low. Amid round-the-clock crypto exchanges, stock platforms, and always-on prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, plus rising demand from non-US investors for immediate liquidity, major exchanges are seeking to extend stock trading hours further.
