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. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have previously offered pre-market and after-hours trading, though trading activity remains generally low. 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.

Michael Burry, the real-life inspiration for "The Big Short," has stated that the structural shortage of memory chips currently driving gains in AI and semiconductor sectors is only temporary. He expects that as production capacity catches up with demand over the next two years, the memory industry will re-enter a downturn cycle. Accordingly, he has increased his bearish positions in Micron Technology, Nebius, the SOXX semiconductor ETF, and Palantir, and stated that if the relevant assets hit new highs again, he would consider closing his positions, but he currently still holds put options.Michael Burry also believes that the current memory supply crunch is related to AI demand pushing manufacturers to adjust production capacity, and that once traditional DRAM production capacity is restored, the supply-demand gap may narrow. He simultaneously warned that the current AI narrative is attracting large amounts of capital into the semiconductor sector, and expressed the view that the Nasdaq 100 index is overvalued with excessively concentrated weighting, and that capital may rotate from semiconductor and AI-related stocks into other sectors.
