Huo Xing Finance reports that on October 3, Nasdaq plans to introduce a new trading session from 9:00 PM to 4:00 AM Eastern Time on December 6, further moving toward a five-day-per-week, 23-hour-per-day trading schedule. Based on standard time, the new session corresponds to 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Beijing Time, meaning Asian investors will soon be able to trade U.S. stocks directly during daytime hours. Expansion of trading hours is not limited to stock markets in traditional finance. CME currently offers 24/7 trading for 1-ounce gold and 100-ounce silver futures, though it still maintains maintenance windows; the official website for 10-barrel WTI crude oil contracts still lists them as upcoming. Traditional markets are increasingly moving toward round-the-clock trading. This is beginning to erode one of HIP-3’s most obvious advantages: while traditional off-exchange markets are closed, on-chain trading can continue uninterrupted.
NASDAQ to Extend Trading Hours, Impact on HYPE?

Summary
NASDAQ will extend U.S. stock trading to 23 hours per day starting December 6, 2026, adding a 9 PM to 4 AM ET session. This corresponds to 10 AM to 5 PM Beijing time, making it easier for Asian investors to trade. The move toward 24/7 trading could impact altcoins to watch by reducing the advantage crypto markets like HYPE currently enjoy when traditional markets are closed. Increased trading volume in traditional markets may also influence crypto market activity.
