The second-largest US exchange operator plans to enable the extended trading five days a week, according to Nasdaq President Tal Cohen. It expects to start round-the-clock trading in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approval and alignment with the rest of the industry, Cohen said in a post on LinkedIn.
The move follows plans by other exchanges: Cboe Global Markets Inc. said last month it would extend trading on its equities exchange to 24 hours, five days a week, pending regulatory approval. The New York Stock Exchange filed its own application in October with plans to offer trading 22 hours on weekdays.

I think this will have wide reaching ramifications.
Couple predictions:
  • Companies will likely change when they release earnings. No more "after the bell"
  • Governments will likely want more Circuit breakers .
  • Will Banks follow and have more 24/7 hours.
  • Will professional traders have to change their daily life plans. No more taking off on the weekends.

These ramifications are alright but with Bitcoin on 24 hours the world already knows how to deal with 24 hours trading.

The world knows how to deal with it. But I am guessing Governments will "discover" some new crisis because of it and want more control.

Yes, this will be a new challenge for the government. They will need more watchdogs and good ones with night vision.

  • Several services offer 24 hour markets and they don’t include the weekends.
  • Banks in the US at least are on the FEDNow track that gets ride of all the delays ie three days to settle a CC transaction.
  • Circuit breakers are likely to stay the same since they are percentage driven. There won’t be a need esp in the US under the Trump Admin
  • The stock market will still have typical business hours so morning and late afternoon releases will likely remain. Companies aren’t going to inconvenience themselves. I guess some could move to noon if they wanted but it isn’t like they are going to do a midnight release now.

Way to follow Bitcoin, lol

Give how more and more brokers already allow this I’m not surprised. This also takes a huge bite out of the idea of tokenizing stocks to trade 24/7 as the only the two weekend days will be excluded. We are going to see the number of transactions skyrocket and these companies make a boat load more doing this via the spread. Even at 1,000 of a cent enabling people to trade off breaking news all the time is a game changer.
