🇺🇸NASDAQ PLANS 24-HOUR TRADING LAUNCH IN 2026 TO TRANSFORM GLOBAL MARKETS

NASDAQ announced today a bold move to offer round-the-clock trading on its equities platform starting mid-2026, pending SEC approval, expanding beyond its current 9:30 AM-4:00 PM ET hours to meet global demand.

The shift, driven by international investors in Asia and retail traders hooked on crypto-style access, could boost the exchange’s $200 billion daily volume and attract giants like Apple and Tesla.

Competitors like NYSE Arca and 24 Exchange are already expanding hours.

Critics warn of volatility risks and fairness gaps, especially during Trump’s tariff-fueled market swings.

The financial world braces for a sleepless era.
