The NYSE and Cboe have both made similar announcements in recent months, as US exchanges look to enable greater global trading.

By Manya Saini (Reuters) -Nasdaq Inc plans to introduce 24-hour trading on its flagship U.S. exchange to capitalize on growing global demand for U.S. equities, a senior executive said in a social media post on Friday.

A round-the-clock trading model will allow exchanges to tap into global demand - which is currently catered to by alternative trading platforms - by attracting investors across time zones, increasing trading volumes, and improving market liquidity.

Nasdaq Inc. is gearing up to launch 24-hour trading on its main U.S. exchange as it seeks to capitalize on the rising global appetite for U.S. equities.

Nasdaq joins rival exchanges like Cboe Global Markets and Intercontinental Exchange , the operator of the New York Stock Exchange, in planning extended trading hours.
