US Stocks Go 24/7 as Crypto Platforms Break Traditional Trading Limits

A major shift is taking place in the world of US stock trading, as crypto-native platforms begin to offer true 24/7 access to real U.S. stocks.

This change comes after a significant piece of news about Nvidia broke on Saturday morning, highlighting the need for investors to be able to react quickly to market-moving events outside traditional market hours.

Three top platforms, Bitget, Gate, and Backpack, are leading this charge, allowing eligible users to trade real US stocks outside regular market hours and through weekends. These platforms offer true 24/7 access, including Saturday and Sunday trading, which is a significant departure from traditional brokers that limit overnight trading to the period from Sunday evening through Friday.

The top three platforms stand out for their unique features: Bitget offers a broader Stock+ universe of over 10,000 stocks and ETFs, Gate provides access to a wide range of US stocks with its initial 24/7 rollout covering 197 securities, including 179 US stocks. Backpack takes a more focused approach, offering true 24/7 trading in selected real US securities for eligible international investors.
