A more personal experience: The core advantage of having a U.S. stock exchange listing is that when people discover opportunities outside trading hours, they can jump on it immediately.

I recently tried it a few times, and it never fails.

Also, I looked at some research reports, and the findings are very clear: during non-trading hours and on weekends, the related stocks see higher trading volumes.

Taking @zh’s bStocks as an example, the core two data points are:
1、As much as 81% of its on-chain trading volume happens outside U.S. regular trading hours (including pre-market, after-hours, Asia/Europe sessions, and weekends)
2、Weekend trading accounts for 54%—about 3 times the trading volume during regular U.S. hours, while trading volume within regular U.S. trading hours is only 19%

These two figures are the most critical support. They clearly show that user demand to trade stock assets in non-standard time periods is far stronger than anyone imagines.

Jumping on opportunities immediately is more attractive than waiting for the opening bell.

7*24 > 5*6.5（regular trading hours）
The gap in between is a 5.16x difference in time cost.

And besides the advantage in time, bStocks also shows differentiated competitive strengths among tokenized securities in the market:
1、In my view, this is the most important: a 1:1 redemption mechanism. It’s one of the few mainstream tokenized securities in the market that supports free 1:1 conversion into real stock assets.
Real settlement = lets big players feel secure to participate.

2、It’s even more friendly for retail users. According to a third-party report, 48% of on-chain transaction counts are under $100.

That means low-income countries and regions—like Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America—can also take part in this AI revolution and in high-quality market stocks.

Break through the fourth wall.

➡️One line I really like: Never does another carriage brand beat a carriage brand; it’s always a world-changing internal combustion engine car that does.

Similarly, what beats old-school securities firms like Tiger and Futu is never another securities firm—it could be a disruptive innovator from crypto.

As of now, it really seems to be the case.
