The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will hold a public roundtable to discuss promoting 24-hour trading in U.S. stocks

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to hold a public roundtable in September to discuss moving the U.S. stock market towards 24-hour trading.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said Thursday: "We are moving towards a new day-and a new night-for the U.S. stock market. As trading hours extend into the night, I am looking forward to seeing the U.S. stock market align with markets that have achieved continuous trading."

According to the SEC, the roundtable will be held on September 17 at its headquarters in Washington, DC. Discussions will include preparations to support overnight trading, as well as issues such as operations and resilience in the 24-hour market.

The roundtable comes as more and more global exchanges are offering or planning to provide near-round-the-clock trading services, allowing retail investors to trade around the clock, as has been the model long provided by cryptocurrency exchanges.

It is reported that the London Stock Exchange plans to launch a night trading platform in early 2027. In March this year, Nasdaq said it had begun discussions with U.S. regulators about plans to provide trading services on its stock market 24 hours a day, five days a week, with the goal of launching in the second half of 2026, provided that "regulatory approval is obtained and agreement is reached."
