The U.S. will launch its first extended-hours stock exchange offering 16-hour daily trading.
The exchange will offer extended trading hours for global retail investors under SEC oversight
24 Exchange announced today (Tuesday) that the first stage
of 24X National Exchange will launch on September 29, 2025. The Exchange is the
first SEC-approved national securities exchange designed for global access,
offering extended weekday trading hours for U.S. equities.
Starting September 29, the Exchange will operate from 4:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET on weekdays. This will allow institutional and retail
investors worldwide to trade U.S. equities through participating broker-dealers
for nearly the entire trading day. The Exchange will operate under full SEC
oversight, with standard investor protections in place.
Focus on APAC Investors

"With this first stage launch, we're one big step
closer to making 23-hour weekday trading a reality for U.S. equities worldwide.
24X National Exchange will enable unprecedented access, flexibility, and speed
for market participants in every global location whenever they want to trade,” 24X
National Exchange CEO and Founder Dmitri Galinov, said
Initially, 24X National Exchange will focus on overnight
trading demand for U.S. equities, particularly among retail investors in the
Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
The SEC approved 23-hour weekday trading for the Exchange in
November 2024. The approval was conditional on modifications to Equity Data
Plans and compliance with the Securities Exchange Act.
"The initial launch of 24X National Exchange is the
culmination of years of innovation, regulatory engagement, and commitment to
global market access," Galinov added. "Setting the launch date for
our new Exchange is a defining moment – not just for our company, but for the
future of U.S. equity trading."
A second stage is planned, pending final approvals. In this
phase, the Exchange will operate from 8:00 p.m. ET Sunday to 8:00 p.m. ET
Friday, with a one-hour daily pause for maintenance. The launch date for this
stage has not yet been announced.
The Exchange runs on technology provided by MEMX
Technologies, which is designed to support high-performance trading.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
