Xchange Ep 8: 24/7 trading in the US – what does it mean for post-trade?
Thursday, 28 May, 2026

In December 2026, leading US exchanges (including Nasdaq, NYSE and 24X) are expected to begin offering live trading for cash equities on a 24x7 basis. The DTCC will already begin 23x5 clearing of these securities in June 2026. It’s a change to trading hours, but a transformational shift in operational and processing requirements for US market participants. It will create significant new pressures on asset servicing and data processing. For those overseas, it also raises new questions about domestic market liquidity for exchanges and market participants across the world.In episode 8 of our Xchange podcast, Barnaby Nelson (CEO), Emma Johnson (Head of Industry Advocacy and Insight) and Mark Brannigan (Head of Xchange product) talk throughWhat is extended hours trading (EHT)? 24 hour reactivity for investors to respond to major global eventsWho is expected to use it?
