Nasdaq is preparing to introduce round-the-clock trading by 2026, an action that might transform the way we invest.
Adena Friedman, Nasdaq’s Chief Executive Officer, is ensuring they have everything in order before starting. This project appears to be influenced by the cryptocurrency sphere, intending to provide investors greater liberty, keep up with worldwide markets, and improve capital raising. If they succeed, Nasdaq will be the first major US stock exchange to operate constantly, disrupting the standard 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET trading day.
Remember that the markets will remain closed on weekends.
The recent launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs has already begun to close the divide between traditional finance and digital assets. The 24/7 trading paradigm mirrors the always-on cryptocurrency market, where assets such as Bitcoin trade continuously without a central authority. Currently, extended hours trading is restricted. To sustain liquidity and avoid extreme swings outside of regular hours, Nasdaq will need to collaborate closely with market makers and regulators. This 24-hour model might significantly affect market liquidity, allowing investors to respond to global events in real-time, without waiting for the opening bell.
Nasdaq intends to collaborate closely with the SEC and other industry participants to address these difficult concerns.
“We are delighted to announce that Nasdaq has begun discussions with regulators, market participants, and other key stakeholders to make 24/7 trading a reality on the Nasdaq Stock Market, five days a week,” Friedman stated.
Nasdaq intends to launch 24/7 trading on its platform by the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory clearance.

The Nasdaq’s action might additionally incorporate items connected to cryptocurrencies into the standard market.
Trading in Bitcoin ETF options is picking up speed, which suggests that institutional interest is growing. As spot Bitcoin ETFs, such as BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, become more and more well-known, the capacity to trade these tools around the clock may improve liquidity and make price discovery easier.
