Nasdaq’s SEC-approved plan for 23-hour, five-day trading, set to launch December 6, 2026, anchors the 74.5% market-implied odds for round-the-clock operations by year-end. The exchange’s August announcements detail an overnight session from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET alongside existing extended hours, with a one-hour maintenance pause, driven by surging global demand for U.S. equities and competition from 24/7 crypto markets. Infrastructure readiness hinges on Securities Information Processor upgrades and clearing alignment, both targeted for the same date, while Nasdaq’s recent LeveL Markets acquisition bolsters matching-engine capacity. Pending final SIP testing and any last-mile regulatory tweaks introduce modest execution risk, yet strong industry momentum and prior approvals sustain trader consensus around a timely rollout.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Nasdaq Stock Exchange (Nasdaq) extends its trading schedule to cover at least 22 hours per day, 5 days per week by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
5 days per week refers to any 5 24-hour periods which Nasdaq treats as trading days. This is not limited to the weekday hours of the Eastern Time Zone (e.g. a day starting on Sunday at 9PM ET and ending on Monday at 9PM ET will count, as long as at least 22 of the relevant 24 hours are open for trading).
A qualifying Nasdaq trading schedule must be active, operational, and publicly accessible for trading of Nasdaq-listed securities to qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The announcement of such a trading schedule within this market’s timeframe will not suffice on its own.
Technical errors (e.g. a circuit breaker), trading holidays, or any planned shortened days will not disqualify this market from resolving to “Yes,” provided Nasdaq has officially implemented a qualifying trading schedule.
Limited trading restrictions outside of regular market hours (i.e. lower liquidity or restricted order types) will not disqualify an extended trading schedule from resolving this market.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Nasdaq; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Nasdaq’s SEC-approved plan for 23-hour, five-day trading, set to launch December 6, 2026, anchors the 74.5% market-implied odds for round-the-clock operations by year-end.
