Nasdaq Shift to Round-The-Clock Stock Trading Partly Due to Crypto, Says Exchange Executive
Both Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are in the process of making round-the-clock trading available five or even seven days a week, mimicking crypto’s trading hours.

What to know:
- Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are working toward offering 24/7 stock trading to meet global investor demand.
- Nasdaq has begun engaging with regulators, while the NYSE has already received approval to extend trading hours.

“We're hearing it across the board from global broker dealers, clients who they're servicing, even within the U.S., there's a number of U.S. brokers that already are offering overnight trading because their customers are used to trading crypto in those hours,” Bui added.
Nasdaq lists a number of crypto-related products, including the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the spot ETF issued by BlackRock, which saw the most successful ETF debut in the history of U.S. ETF launches. Earlier today, the exchange listed two Solana
