According to Bloomberg, major US exchanges are developing plans to expand and promote stock trading beyond traditional trading hours, suggesting that an era of 24/7 trading for US stocks may be approaching.

With the growth of 24/7 cryptocurrency and equity trading platforms, as well as round-the-clock prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, combined with increasing demand from non-US investors for continuous liquidity and timely execution, major exchanges are seeking to further extend stock trading hours.

Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone (@mikemcglone11) noted that the Market Vector Digital Assets 100 Index (MVDA) has ceased outperforming the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) since the launch of Bitcoin futures in 2017. Although MVDA volatility is approximately three times that of the NDX, performance has remained flat over the past decade, and its positive correlation with the NDX fails to provide effective portfolio diversification benefits. McGlone stated that the approval of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs and the policy shift ahead of the 2024 Trump election may already mark a local peak for the crypto market, with a low probability of further upside. Approximately two-thirds of the MVDA's constituents consist of Bitcoin.
