Throughout history, financial markets have strived to keep pace with technological advancements and evolving industry needs. From the open-outcry trading pits of the past to today’s real-time, globally interconnected electronic markets, investors and industry participants have greatly benefited from the modernization of markets.
Now, as the industry considers the growing interest in 24-hour trading, we stand at yet another pivotal moment – one that has the potential to broaden investor access, expand wealth-building opportunities, and redefine how markets function.
We are excited to share that Nasdaq has begun engaging with regulators, market participants and other key stakeholders, with a view of enabling 24-hour trading five days a week on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Our timeline is pending regulatory approval and alignment with critical industry infrastructure providers, which we anticipate being in the second half of 2026.
