Nasdaq plans to offer 24-hour trading on its stock exchange to take advantage of the growing demand in the world for American shares.
Nasdaq, which is the second largest American exchange operator, plans to offer around-the-clock trading five days a week, according to CEO Tal Cohen.
The hope is that trading can start during the second half of 2026 after approval from regulatory authorities and industry adaptation, writes Cohen in a post on Linkedin.
Nasdaq is not the first or alone in wanting to offer extended trading. The New York Stock Exchange submitted its own application in October with plans to offer trading 22 hours on weekdays.
