Traditional Finance Embraces Extended Trading Hours

🤖This content was generated by TradingMaster AI based on real-time market data. While we strive for accuracy, please verify important financial information from the original source.
Major financial institutions are accelerating efforts to expand trading hours, with DTCC building infrastructure for 24×5 operations and Nasdaq filing for 23-hour trading days. This institutional push toward near-continuous trading represents a significant shift in traditional market structure, acknowledging the demand for extended accessibility that has long been a hallmark of cryptocurrency markets.
Simultaneously, ICE's development of a tokenized securities platform signals growing institutional adoption of blockchain technology for traditional assets. While these developments validate the crypto market's pioneering role in 24/7 trading, they also highlight the competitive landscape emerging as traditional finance adopts similar operational models. The crypto market's $4.5 billion daily volume advantage in continuous trading may face new challenges as established players enter this space.
