Nasdaq Plans to Launch 23-Hour Trading, Paving the Final Stretch for On-Chain Stocks and Tokenized Assets
Nasdaq has submitted a proposal to the SEC to extend U.S. stock trading hours to 23 hours per day, effectively formalizing overnight trading. This move is seen as a step toward preparing the market infrastructure for future 24/7 on-chain stock trading and asset tokenization.
Key implications include:
- Improved accessibility for retail investors, enabling trading across more time zones without waiting for traditional market hours.
- Enhanced performance for on-chain stock platforms (e.g., Ondo Finance, StableStock), as their broker-mediated transactions will align with extended market hours, ensuring smoother and more liquid operations.
- Stronger support for DeFi protocols, as near-24-hour official pricing improves oracle reliability for lending, derivatives, and other decentralized applications.
- Better risk management for brokers and market makers, who can hedge positions throughout most of the day, leading to smoother pricing and deeper on-chain liquidity.
This shift signals accelerating momentum toward on-chain equities and tokenized assets.
