Nasdaq is preparing a filing to extend US stock trading to nearly around the clock, offering up to twenty three hours of weekday access. The move reflects growing global demand, retail participation, and competition with always on crypto markets. Longer hours could improve access for international investors and react faster to breaking news, but they also raise concerns around liquidity, volatility, and market making during thin sessions. If approved, this would mark a major structural shift for traditional equities, narrowing the gap between Wall Street and digital asset markets that never close. Regulators and exchanges will watch implementation closely globally.
