SEC Pushes For 24 Hour Trading Wall Street Goes Full Time
US equity market is moving to nonstop trade and SEC is leading the push. The big news this week is a set of approvals that turn US stocks into an almost 24 hour market.
What got approved. SEC approved Cboe plan to offer long hours for select single stock options from July 13 2026. Pre and post sessions will add time outside core 9:30 to 16:00. SEC also approved Nasdaq 23/5 plan for NMS stocks and ETPs, with full roll out eyed for Dec 6 2026 pending final steps. NYSE Arca already won approval earlier this year for 22 hour weekday trade. DTCC, the core clear hub, targets June 2026 to run 24/5, which is key for settlement. NSCC added rule text to tag overnight trades as overnight session flow.
London joins. LSE said it will open a new venue called LSE 24 from 2027 for all day trade five days a week. The aim is to give global users more time to react to news, use liquidity across zones and manage risk. London move shows this is not just US idea but global shift.
Why now. Crypto trades 24/7 and betting markets also run nonstop. Retail now expects to act on news at any hour. Issuers want access to Asia and Europe flow. SEC view is that longer hours can help price discovery if clear rules, real time data and proper clearing exist.
Risk and open gaps. More hours means more need for real time data, wider staffing for market makers, and clear rules for corp actions that hit outside core. Issuers must plan for news that drops at 2am. Options that track stocks need stock to trade, so options hours will stay shorter than equity hours. The SIP that shows best quote must be upgraded. DTCC 24/5 is still pending final SEC sign off.
What it means for crypto users on Gate. Gate already runs 24/7 for spot, perp, Earn and GUSD yield. While Wall Street learns nonstop flow, Gate users already live it. Skills that matter in 24 hour trade are same: use limit orders, set alerts, keep risk low at thin hours, avoid chasing low liquidity prints. Gate offers deep order books day and night, plus Earn with 3.8 percent base on GUSD plus Launchpool extra, so idle funds keep working while you wait for US open or Asia open.
In short SEC push for 24 hour trade is real. Cboe July 13, DTCC June target, Nasdaq Dec 6 plan and LSE 24 in 2027 show road map. Market moves to 23/5 and then 24/5. For Gate users this is home turf. Prepare for more vol at odd hours and keep risk tight.
