The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced it will host a roundtable on Sept. 17, 2026, to discuss moving towards 24-hour trading in U.S. equity markets, covering preparations for overnight trading, operations and resiliency in a 24-hour market, and opportunities and challenges for expansion. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated, “We are moving towards a new day – and night – in the U.S. equity markets,” and said he looks forward to balancing round-the-clock trading with investor and customer protections. The roundtable, open to the public, will be held at the SEC's headquarters at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., and streamed live on SEC.gov, with a recording made available later; agenda and speaker information will be posted before the event. Members of the public may submit comments electronically or on paper under File Number 4-913, as detailed in the document.
