The era of 24-hour, round-the-clock U.S. stock trading is approaching, as major exchanges accelerate their push into off-hours trading

Odaily reports: Major U.S. exchanges are drawing up plans to expand and promote stock trading outside traditional trading hours, and the era of 24-hour, round-the-clock U.S. stock trading may be approaching. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have previously offered pre-market and after-hours trading, but trading activity during these periods is usually low.

With the development of 24-hour cryptocurrency trading platforms, stock trading platforms, and round-the-clock prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi, combined with growing demand from investors outside the United States for round-the-clock liquidity and timely trading, major exchanges are seeking to further extend stock trading hours.
