The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken a critical step in preparing the U.S. stock market for round-the-clock trading. The SEC announced that a roundtable meeting will be held on September 17, 2026, and announced the meeting agenda and guest list.
What will the meeting discuss?
The meeting at the SEC headquarters will focus on extending trading hours for U.S. stocks. In this context, how to enable the U.S. stock market to be traded around the clock (including night hours) will become a key issue. The meeting will assess the current preparations of exchanges, brokerages and other market institutions.
A system similar to the cryptocurrency market is on the agenda!
The SEC aims to follow the example of the cryptocurrency market and open up longer trading hours for traditional stock markets. The meeting will evaluate a technology and operating model that allows investors to buy and sell stocks at any time as they do in the cryptocurrency market. The meeting will specifically discuss related issues such as night trading methods, market monitoring, liquidity, clearing and settlement processes, and investor protection.
Large financial institutions will attend!
Through this meeting, the SEC successfully brought major Wall Street institutions together at the same negotiating table. The statement pointed out that representatives from 17 large companies will attend the meeting. According to reports, these companies include BlackRock, Citigroup, Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, State Street Bank, Castle Securities, UBS, Robin Hood and Charles Schwab.
Finally, this SEC meeting could herald a major change in trading hours for the U.S. stock market. If the 24-hour trading model is implemented, investors 'access to U.S. stocks will be significantly expanded. However, it should also be noted that just one meeting does not guarantee that round-the-clock transactions will be implemented.
