According to Reuters, Nasdaq has begun discussions with regulators, targeting a launch in the second half of 2026.
Competitors like Cboe Global Markets and the NYSE are also expanding trading hours, with the NYSE receiving SEC approval for a 22-hour trading in February 2025.
Nasdaq is enhancing US equity markets by introducing
24-hour trading, five days a week. According to the announcement, the company, the exchange operator, is responding to surging international demand for US stocks, boosted by growing retail participation, financial literacy, and digital trading platforms.
If approved, this move is expected to increase liquidity and access across time zones. Nasdaq has begun discussions with regulators and plans to file for approval with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
“Nasdaq will enable 24-hour trading on the Nasdaq Stock
Market. Pending regulatory approval and alignment with critical industry
infrastructure providers, we anticipate our timeline being in the second half
of 2026,” commented Tal Cohen, Nasdaq’s President.

“The global growth of
investor demand for US equities means we stand at another pivotal moment for
our markets—to broaden investor access, expand wealth-building opportunities,
and redefine how markets function,” he added.
Broadening Investor Access
According to Nasdaq, the initiative aims to broaden
investor access, expand wealth-building opportunities, by improving how markets
function. The company expects to launch the extended trading model in the
second half of 2026.
While Nasdaq is leading this push, it is not alone.
Competitors like Cboe Global Markets and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),
owned by Intercontinental Exchange, have also announced plans for extended
trading hours.
In October 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) disclosed plans for a 22-hour trading window, which received SEC approval in February. However, the
exchange still faces additional regulatory steps before implementation.
“The NYSE’s initiative to extend US equity trading to 22 hours a day, 5 days a week underscores the strength of our US capital markets and growing demand for our listed securities around the world,” said Kevin Tyrrell, Head of Markets at the NYSE, last year.
Opportunities and Challenges of 24-Hour Trading
A move to round-the-clock trading presents several
advantages. It allows traders in Asia, Europe, and other regions to participate
in US markets in real-time, reducing reliance on alternative trading platforms.
Increased trading volumes and liquidity could lead to
more efficient price discovery. While the SEC's approval process may take time,
Nasdaq's initiative signals a shift toward a more globally integrated market
structure.
If implemented successfully, 24-hour trading could
redefine how investors engage with US equities, making the market more
accessible and responsive to international demand.
