24 Exchange has announced the launch of its new 24X National Exchange. It is scheduled for September 29, 2025. It is the debut of the first national securities exchange approved by the U.S. SEC to offer 23-hour weekday trading of U.S. equities.
Launch Details
The exchange will go live on September 29, 2025. Trading will be available from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. Investors worldwide will be able to trade U.S. equities through broker-dealers participating on the platform. The exchange will operate under full oversight by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Target Users and Market Focus
24X National Exchange primarily targets tech-savvy retail investors in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. There, demand for overnight access to U.S. equities has grown. Also, the platform serves institutional and retail investors worldwide to provide extended trading.
Future Expansion Plans
The platform’s second phase will enable continuous trading from 8:00 p.m. ET on Sunday to 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday. It includes a one-hour daily break for system maintenance and testing. The company has not yet announced the launch date for this next phase. It is pending final regulatory approvals and market readiness.
Benefits for Traders
This launch will offer these benefits:
More Flexibility to Trade
Investors don’t need to wait for the regular U.S. market to open with trading hours extended from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. It gives working professionals in different time zones more control over when they trade.
Better Access for Global Markets
Investors in Asia, Europe, and other regions can now participate in U.S. equity trading during their local hours. It reduces the time lag and lets global traders respond to breaking news or market events in real time.
More Opportunities to Act on News
Traders can react faster to after-hours earnings reports, geopolitical news, or economic data with longer hours. It reduces the delay between information release and trade execution.
Competitive Edge for Active Traders
Day traders and high-frequency traders can benefit from longer hours to spot short-term movements and take more positions throughout the day. It offers more chances to capture intraday price shifts.
Lower Overnight Risk
Investors can now manage positions closer to real-time events. They can enter or exit positions across a longer window instead of holding risky overnight trades and reduce exposure to price gaps when markets reopen.
