Nasdaq’s SEC-approved plan to launch 23-hour, five-day trading on December 6, 2026, underpins the 74.5% market-implied probability for round-the-clock operations by year-end. The proposal adds a Night Session from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET with a one-hour maintenance pause, building on existing extended hours while maintaining core 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. price discovery. Recent catalysts include the April 2026 accelerated approval, Equity Data Plans’ SIP amendments targeting December 6 readiness, and the mid-August acquisition of LeveL Markets to bolster matching-engine capacity amid surging global demand for U.S. equities. Traders price in high odds of meeting the timeline given aligned infrastructure upgrades and competitive pressure from crypto markets, though final SIP confirmation remains the key near-term swing factor.
