what happened
More than 50% of trading activity in tokenized equities takes place when regular U.S. markets are closed. Dow Jones Newswires reports the figure, citing the IMF’s latest Global Financial Stability Report.
The IMF researchers say activity during off-hours indicates that round-the-clock access is more than a technical capability and represents a source of demand. They point to interest from investors in regions outside U.S. trading hours, as well as from participants wanting to respond immediately to news and price moves while conventional venues are shut.
why it matters
The finding highlights the potential market relevance of continuous access to tokenized equities. Demand may be particularly important among global investors operating in different time zones and among traders responding to developments released outside the schedule of traditional exchanges.
