The real question is whether your business is ready to deliver a market that traders can trust when the traditional trading day ends.
The data shows why this matters. Overnight trading volume rose 359% year over year in August, reaching 144.6 million shares per day. Yet overnight trading still represented just 0.9% of total NMS share volume, with the 10 most active stocks accounting for 43.4% of overnight volume.
The opportunity is growing. But so is the operating challenge.
As the SEC prepares to examine the future of overnight trading on September 17, the conversation is moving beyond access and into the infrastructure that makes markets work: liquidity, clearing, surveillance, systems resilience, and client experience.
The firms that win this race won't simply keep the order ticket open. They'll build the operating model that makes trading credible around the clock.
