26 Degrees Announces Extended Hours Trading for US Equity CFDs

26 Degrees Global Markets, an industry-leading Prime of Prime broker, has announced the launch of extended hours trading for US Equity and ETF CFDs. This transition will see trading hours extended from the current 6.5 hours per trading day to 16 hours per trading day, including access to both the US pre- and post-market periods as part of the extended trading session.

The launch is set to provide unprecedented access to the US Markets for traders, particularly those based in Asia, opening exciting new growth opportunities and markets for 26 Degrees’ retail broker clients.

26 Degrees extended hours trading will be powered by the Cboe One Feed, Cboe’s premier consolidated data feed. The Cboe One Feed offers cost-effective, high-quality quote and trade data for a comprehensive, unified view of the market from all four Cboe US equities exchanges: BZX Exchange, BYX Exchange, EDGX Exchange and EDGA Exchange. Cboe is a leading global derivatives and securities exchange network and one of the largest exchange operators for equities trading in the US.

Speaking on the launch, Gavin White, Group CEO at 26 Degrees, commented, “The introduction of extended hours trading for over 1,000 US Equity and ETF CFDs reinforces our commitment to innovation and client-centric solutions. We were one of the first Prime of Primes to launch Equity CFDs via API to brokers back in 2019, and now, by significantly expanding trading hours in US markets, we’re providing brokers with greater flexibility, enhanced liquidity, and more opportunities to serve both new and existing clients. This advancement is yet another step forward in our pursuit to raise the bar in the Prime of Prime space.”

Adam Inzirillo, Global Head of Cboe Data Vantage, said, “As more global investors look to invest in the U.S. markets, Cboe aims to provide the needed data and access through collaborations with industry partners like 26 Degrees Global Markets. We are pleased to provide their clients with access to the Cboe One Feed, which provides high-quality and real-time U.S. equity market data and supports 26 Degrees and Cboe’s shared commitment to innovation and client-centric solutions."

26 Degrees clients will also benefit from no additional commissions during the US pre- and post-market and the acceptance of all order types, including market orders, during all trading sessions.

Extended hours trading for US Equity CFDs will form part of 26 Degrees’ broader Equity and ETF CFD product offering, an asset class that they have continued to innovate in since its launch to brokers in 2019.

26 Degrees now offers over 2,000 global Equity and ETF CFD instruments, 1,000 of which are now available to trade in the US pre- and post-market. This is alongside their suite of Equity Pairs CFDs, a new asset class created by 26 Degrees, designed to allow clients to trade any Equity instrument against another. These instruments are all available under a tiered margining methodology, allowing for more competitive and transparent margins.
