Wall Street Never Sleeps: Nasdaq Pushes for Almost 24/7 Trading

Forget the 9-to-5 grind. Nasdaq (NDAQ) is formally proposing an ALMOST 24/7 trading day for U.S. stocks and ETFs. We're talking 23 hours of non-stop action, split into a day and night session, kicking off as early as 4 a.m. ET! ๐Ÿš€ What's Driving This Insane Shift? Global Demand: The world doesn't sleep, so why should the market? International investors are tired of waiting. The Robinhood Effect: Competition from platforms like HOOD is forcing established exchanges to adapt or die. The Race is On: NYSE is also prepping for 22-hour trading. This is the new financial arms race. The Trade-Off (The Controversial Part) ๐Ÿ‘‡ While the 'always-on' market sounds like a trader's dream, the critics are sounding the alarm: ๐Ÿ’ง Diluted Liquidity: Will those late-night hours be a ghost town, making trades painful? ๐ŸŽข Volatility Spike: Prepare for some serious overnight whiplash. ๐Ÿ’€ Operational Nightmare: How will banks, brokers, and listed companies actually staff 23-hour coverage? (RIP work-life balance for the finance sector). Launching in late 2026 (pending SEC approval). Get ready, your trading strategy is about to need a caffeine IV. Source: Wall Street Pit
