Nasdaq is aligning its schedule closer to Crypto's. Starting this December, the U.S. stock market will move to a 5-day-a-week, 23-hour-a-day trading schedule. One of the most obvious advantages of tokenized stocks in the past was that trading could continue on-chain even after the stock market closed. Now, this 'time gap' is being quickly erased. But this might not necessarily be bad news for on-chain stocks. Longer U.S. stock trading hours also mean more continuous price anchors, lower market-making costs, and reduced hedging expenses. The real competition in the next phase might not be about who gets closer to 24/7 trading, but rather who can truly achieve real shareholder rights, compliance, liquidity, and on-chain composability.
