Stock Tokens See 55% Trading Volume After U.S. Market Close

Sentora's analysis of blockchain trading data reveals that 55% of stock token trading volume occurs after the U.S. stock market closes, suggesting a fundamental shift in how investors access and trade these assets.

This contrasts sharply with traditional stock exchanges, which are limited to specific trading sessions, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The platform emphasizes that this pattern reflects the convergence of traditional finance and decentralized markets, where price discovery is not confined to exchange hours.

This trend necessitates separate risk management systems tailored to continuous markets, as traditional collateral and liquidation mechanisms may not be adequate when trading occurs around the clock. Investors can trade stock tokens at any time but face the risk of price moves and liquidation events outside regular market hours.
