Friend, did you catch last night's big news?
Nasdaq officially submitted an application to the SEC:
U.S. stock trading hours will change from 5×16 hours to 5×23 hours!
Translated into plain language:
From now on, you can trade from Sunday night at 9 PM until Friday night at 8 PM.
Do you think this is good news? Don't rush.
There is a terrifying truth hidden behind this.
The 'missing hour' exposed the ultimate soft spot of TradFi
Why 23 hours instead of the actual 7×24?
Nasdaq admits:
One hour (20:00-21:00) must be reserved every day for the system to 'catch its breath'—for clearing, settlement, and reconciliation.
That 1 hour resembles traditional finance's 'ventilator intubation'.
Because it relies on centralized clearinghouses (DTCC), brokers' manual reconciliation, and banks' batch processing...
This system that has been running for half a century cannot achieve continuous operation.
But do you know?
The cryptocurrency market has long been a true perpetual motion machine running 7×24×365.
Why?
Because blockchain and smart contracts are born to 'never close'.
What is Nasdaq afraid of? It is being 'hollowed out'.
Data does not lie:
In the second quarter of 2025, the post-market trading volume of US stocks has surged to 11.5%.
A large number of orders flow to Blue Ocean, OTC Moon and other 'night dark pools'.
This means:
Investors vote with their feet, already longing for all-weather trading.
Extending trading hours at Nasdaq is not 'innovation'—
but to reclaim its territory from lost orders.
But the awkward thing is:
The limit of traditional architecture is precisely 23 hours.
That last hour is exactly the chasm that the old world cannot cross.
When stocks become 'Tokens', DUSD will become the blood of the new world.
This is the endgame that Nasdaq does not dare to openly state:
All its actions—
T+1 settlement
23 hours trading
Testing on-chain clearing systems
all point to the same thing: stock tokenization.
And the tokenized world needs a truly global, 7×24 hour available, settlement is final stable asset.
This is precisely the battlefield of DUSD (Decentralized USD).
Imagine this:
In the future, when you buy and sell tokenized Apple stocks, the settlement asset will not be slow-moving dollars, but DUSD that arrives in seconds and is transparent on-chain.
Dimensional advantage attack:
✅ Settlement time: from 1 hour → 3 seconds
✅ Available time: from 23 hours → 24 hours
✅ Circulation range: from regulated markets → global on-chain networks
What should your 'future account' look like?
If you understand this trend, then now is the time to prepare:
Don't lock all your funds in traditional accounts— that system is 'operated with pipes'.
Allocate on-chain assets—especially stable mediums like DUSD that can seamlessly connect TradFi and DeFi.
Get used to 'always open market'—the future has no closing time, only continuous price discovery.
While Nasdaq is still struggling for 23 hours,
DUSD and the decentralized system it represents have already lived in a world of 'always open market'.
Interaction time:
If US stocks really become 7×24 hour trading,
Would you prefer to settle in dollars or in on-chain stablecoins like DUSD?
The last true word:
The old world is desperately trying to extend its life,
The new world has long built a parallel space-time.
Which side do you choose?
