$NEIRO 🆕 JUST IN: NYSE Moves Toward 24/7 Trading for U.S. Equities
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) — part of Intercontinental Exchange — is advancing plans to enable around‑the‑clock trading of U.S. stocks and ETFs by leveraging new electronic and blockchain‑based infrastructure. This shift aims to allow trading well beyond the traditional 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. session and extend access into overnight hours, pending regulatory approval.
🔁 This move is part of a broader industry trend:
• Nasdaq is also seeking regulatory approval to expand trading hours to nearly 24 hours on weekdays.
• Alternative venues and exchanges (including Cboe and 24X National Exchange) are pushing for extended or near‑round‑the‑clock trading to meet global demand.
📊 Why this matters:
• Global access: Investors in Asia, Europe, and other regions could react instantly to macroeconomic news without waiting for U.S. market open.
• Competitiveness: Traditional equity venues seek to keep pace with digital asset markets (which trade 24/7) and modern retail broker features.
• Market structure evolution: If approved, this would mark one of the most significant changes to U.S. equity trading hours in decades — potentially reshaping liquidity, volatility, and investor behavior.
