The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced plans to hold a roundtable discussion on September 17 to explore the possibility of extending stock market trading hours to 24/7, similar to cryptocurrency markets. This initiative aims to examine how traditional stock exchanges could support continuous, overnight trading sessions.
This change would mark a significant shift for Wall Street, where trading currently operates only during set hours on weekdays. The SEC's move reflects growing interest in aligning stock market operations with the always-on nature of crypto trading, potentially increasing market accessibility and liquidity at all hours.
