55% of Stock Token Trading Happens After Hours, Study Shows

Sentora's analysis of blockchain trading data reveals that stock token trading is increasingly happening after hours, with 55% of volume occurring when U.S. markets are closed.

This trend indicates a shift in how price discovery for tokenized equities is happening on-chain, moving beyond traditional exchange hours and creating a unique environment where continuous activity prevails.

The report highlights that while underlying securities are traded on regulated exchanges during the day, their tokenized counterparts see continuous trading. This necessitates separate risk management systems tailored to continuous markets, as traditional collateral and liquidation mechanisms may not be adequate for 24/7 trading.
