Nasdaq’s SEC-approved plan for 23/5 trading, scheduled to launch December 6, 2026, underpins the 88.5% market-implied odds for round-the-clock equity trading by year-end. The exchange received accelerated approval in April for a day session from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET and a night session from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET, with a one-hour maintenance window, aligning with global investor demand and competition against alternative trading systems. Recent catalysts include the August acquisition of LeveL Markets for matching-engine capacity, Q2 earnings confirmation of on-track preparations, and an upcoming September 17 SEC roundtable on overnight operations. SIP readiness and coordinated industry testing remain the primary near-term hurdles, though current momentum favors timely implementation.
