Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Nasdaq, home of Coinbase, Strategy stocks, seeks 23-hour trading amid investor demand Original Link: Nasdaq is preparing to file paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to enable nearly round-the-clock trading, aiming to match the increasingly global nature of financial markets and investor behavior, according to recent reports.

Under the proposal, Nasdaq would expand trading hours for stocks and exchange-traded products (ETPs) from 16 hours to 23 hours per day, five days a week. The new schedule would include:

Day session: 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET
One-hour break: 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET
Night session: 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET (following day)

The trading week would begin on Sunday at 9 p.m. and close on Friday at 8 p.m., with the existing opening and closing bells at 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. remaining unchanged.

Implications for Crypto Trading

Most public crypto companies trade on Nasdaq’s exchange, including major platforms and bitcoin mining companies, making those stocks more accessible to traders across the globe. Extended trading hours would provide additional liquidity and flexibility for institutional and retail investors participating in the digital asset ecosystem.
