Tokenized Platform. 24/7 Trading is coming….
2026 is starting off with the tokenization trend in full force as $ICE ( ▼ 0.58% ) announces their securities platform for 24/7 trading.
Its design combines the NYSE’s cutting-edge Pillar matching engine with blockchain-based post-trade systems, including the capability to support multiple chains for settlement and custody.
24-hour trading, 7 days a week, global access for everyone to trade US stocks and eventually global stocks, is all coming soon. Tokenization and stablecoin integration is just the beginning.
$HOOD ( ▼ 1.75% ) and many others have already talked about tokenized private stocks as well as real estate. Alpaca.Markets in which Social Leverage Fund III is an investor have made tokenization possible for some of the largest brokerages in the world. This trend will only continue into 2026.
$NDAQ ( ▼ 0.3% ) late last year announced their own 24-hour trading, though they are focused on 5 days a week.
Do we need 24-hour trading? Do we need 7 days a week? My opinion is no, and I doubt we will see good liquidity 24/7. That being said, if it’s technically possible, then why not offer it? I feel bad for the institutions that will now have to think of having people at the desks 24/7 in case their clients have questions or need support.
The future is 24/7 everything and anything tradeable or predicatble!
