A seismic shift is carried out: suits give way to smart contracts, trading floors in pools and bankers to builders.
Just as Internet access to information, the blockchain is set to decentralize the ownership and re -grant financial power.
Wall Street passes the torch on the web3.
This is not evolution; It is a full size architecture of the global financial system.
Money is not sleeping
Stock markets have existed for more than 400 years. Coffee -filled houses in Amsterdam sprout on deals in handshake in New York. Handshake deals are quickly formalized in paper contracts. The contracts on that paper were exchanged fiercely with open outcry pits as Wall Street emerged. The shouting of the merchants was lost to a melting furious technology and electronic trade.
The new era of decentralization is a natural development in the timeline of inevitable interruption.
The crypto market will never close, yet the stock market. Restricting time of trading stacked the deck against retail investors. The US stock market runs from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm (6.5 hours of trading). But institutions enjoy the luxury of accessing the market within 13.5 hours day (4:00 am to 8:00 pm).
The appetite for inclusive access to the market is rugged. Robinhood introduced extended trading hours in June 2023. Users benefit from an additional 6.5 hours of trading. Those after the trade time hours have doubled since the launch. However, this is not bulletproof. Trading is not processed in real-time. Orders are queuing for implementation in open sessions.
Stranger things
Strange flexions are a scheduled time of trading. Case in point: the “Effect of night. “This approach involves the purchase of US stocks in the Market Close (4:00 pm New York time) and sale of them when the market opens (9:30 am).
Now reverse the trade – buy in the open and sell nearby – and the combined – joint returns decreases under 100%.
Why? Many occur overnight. Companies release revenue results after the bell. Destruction of the Macroeconomic News and Global Development Filter at asset prices. Investors in retail are locked out of reaction – frozen on the sides as institutional capital moves the market.
The result? Entrepreneurs will be rewarded for getting overnight risk.
Institutions benefit from exclusive access to financial markets. They do not play through the “regular market time” policies. But that edge has evaporated into a world without “overnight,” where tokenized and crypto-native markets sell liquid 24/7.
Markets should be fair, but fixed time, layered access and legacy infrastructure say otherwise.
Technically, global markets are never close. Throughout Asia-Pacific, Europe and the US, at least one major stock exchange is open.
Money is not sleeping.
Wall Street after the dark
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has announced plans to expand trading hours in 22 hours in the end days to satisfy global demand for US equality. NYSE is looking for approved from the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch.
The tech dedicated to the NASDAQ exchange also moves quickly. The planning is planning 24 -hour trading on weekends days.

The global demand is clear. More than 56 products Monitoring the NASDAQ-100 has been launched within five years-98% of these products have been introduced outside the United States.
The response from traditional stock exchanges is clear: either to embrace or be victims of interruption.
Tokenization is democratization
Naturally, there are some disapproving voices on Wall Street against liquid, always-in markets. Resistance comes from the way traditional markets are structured. You have many layers of compliance, trade approval and self-inflicted bureaucracy. This means you need a lot of people to handle more paperwork.
This is less than an issue when you consider that algorithms, not people, drive up to 80% of trading volumes.
Crypto has an elegant solution: Tokenized equity. Real-World and ETF stocks have been exchanged with Blockchain 24/7 and globally accessible to anyone, anywhere. This represents the top of great markets, where prices react to real time at news events-a hyper-efficient market obtained by asymmetric information.
Kraken recently announced that it was offers tokenized stocks to clients not US. The tokens will be stored in Solana’s blockchain and MAI -back 1: 1 of actual shares. The reverse? Faster adjustments, lower fees and access to universal.
The tokenized equity is the entry point in a Defi Takeover. Tokenized equity can easily be combined with decentralized applications (DAPPS) to change collateral change and lending in full. Simply put, this is a disturbing ticket to the boundless, unauthorized market.
Blackrock is the world’s largest asset manager, with roughly $ 11.6 trillion in assets under management, and its CEO, Larry Fink, had this to say about the future of finance in his annual Chairman’s Letter to investors this year:
“The tokenization is democratization. Each stock, each bond, per fund – each possession – can be exposed.
Four centuries ago, stock markets were established by communities that created a system that anchored the integration and pool of resources and was driven by opportunity -a shared promise of prosperity and wealth creation. The new crypto upgrade reinforces these values.
The massive injection of liquidity, access to the frictionless market and the cross-border community measures the ecosystem in unimaginable ways. A market unified by decentralization. This is the point of inflection – the onset of uniformity in global capital markets.
We are still early.
