24X National Exchange Plans to be the First Exchange to Offer U.S. Equities Trading 23 Hours-Per-Day on Weekdays

STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 27, 2024 /CNW/ — 24 Exchange announced today that it has received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to operate 24X National Exchange as the first national securities exchange in the U.S. that allows trading of U.S. securities 23 hours each workday. The extended hour trading is subject to Equity Data Plans making changes that would facilitate overnight trading hours and 24X National Exchange making an additional rule filing with the SEC confirming the changes and the Exchange’s ability to comply with the Securities Exchange Act.

24X National Exchange will be subject to the SEC’s ongoing regulatory oversight and full range of investor protections. The new Exchange will enable retail and institutional customers anywhere in the world to trade in U.S. equities via broker-dealers who are approved members of 24X National Exchange. 

24X National Exchange will be launched in two stages. A first stage will open in the second half of 2025, with the Exchange operating from 4:00AM ET to 7:00PM ET on weekdays. The second stage, which will launch once the conditions noted above are met, will offer trading in U.S. equities from 8:00PM ET on Sunday through 7:00PM ET on Friday. A one-hour operational pause will occur during each trading day to accommodate routine software upgrades and functionality testing.

24 Exchange CEO and Founder Dmitri Galinov said: “The SEC’s approval of our new exchange is a thrilling development that the 24X Team has been working toward for many years. Traders are most at-risk when the market is closed in their geographic location. 24X National Exchange will seek to alleviate this problem by facilitating around-the-clock U.S. equities trading for broker-dealers and their institutional and retail customers.”

As the first national securities exchange approved by the SEC to operate 23 hours each weekday, subject to the conditions noted above, 24X National Exchange will initially focus on capturing the expanding demand in the APAC region for overnight liquidity in U.S. equities.

The 24X National Exchange will run on a proven, state-of-the-art technology platform provided by MEMX Technologies. The new Exchange’s executive team will place a high priority on enhancing client experience through continuous technology innovations and improvements.

“With this historic SEC approval in place, we will build and operate a customer-driven Exchange that can rapidly align with market demands and adapt quickly to client feedback,” Galinov added. “We look forward to bringing a superior trading experience to global customers. 24X National Exchange will deliver the cost efficiency, speed, resilience, and adaptability that the company’s financial institutional customers have long come to expect.”

24X National Exchange will close on U.S. market holidays, similar to the schedules maintained by the NYSE and Nasdaq.

24 Exchange through 24X Bermuda Limited, an affiliate of 24X National Exchange, will continue to offer FX NDFs, Swaps and Spot trading to institutional clients. Since its launch in 2019, 24 Exchange’s multi-asset offering through a single trading interface has enabled clients to access increased liquidity at lower cost.

Market Driver

The Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) market is experiencing significant growth due to the ELD mandate, which requires fleet-owning organizations to install and use ELDs in their commercial vehicles. These devices help improve operational efficiency by providing real-time data on vehicle location, fuel consumption, and driver behavior. Developed regions lead the market, with integrated systems becoming increasingly popular. Installation cost is a concern, but the benefits of ELDs, including tax reports, vehicle condition monitoring, and CO2 emission tracking, outweigh the expense. Telematics units, GSM modules, and electronic logs are essential components. Fleet management platforms like Omnitracs One offer hardware flexibility and service quality, while aftermarket services and technology partners ensure seamless integration. ELDs facilitate strategic decision-making through statistical tools and online access to delivery time, route distance, and electronic logbooks. Trucks equipped with tablets and apps like Trucker Path and Geotab ELD offer additional benefits, such as fuel tracking, temperature monitoring, breakdown assistance, and vehicle theft tracking. Despite challenges like poor connectivity and hacking concerns, the market continues to grow, with OEMs and commercial vehicle operators embracing ELDs for improved safety and regulatory compliance. 

ELDs, or Electronic Logging Devices, offer enterprises valuable insights into their fleet operations through data analysis. Analytical tools and techniques, such as forecast analytics, charts, percentage change analytics, and numerical analytics, can be employed with ELDs to uncover meaningful patterns. Vendors like Omnitracs provide integrated ELD solutions that collect continuous data from drivers and vehicles. Customizable dashboards and templates enable enterprises to monitor productivity and location-specific information, allowing for informed decision-making.

Market Challenges

The Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) market is experiencing significant growth due to the ELD mandate, which requires fleet-owning organizations to install and use ELDs in their commercial vehicles. These devices help improve operational efficiency by automatically recording driving hours, vehicle location, and other important data. However, challenges exist, such as installation cost, poor connectivity in remote areas, and potential hacking risks. Developed regions are leading the market, with integrated systems, telematics units, and GSM modules becoming essential components. Fleet management platforms, like Omnitracs One and Geotab ELD, offer fleet management solutions, including fuel tracking, temperature monitoring, vehicle inspection, and breakdown assistance. Fleet management platforms also provide strategic decision-making tools, such as online delivery time and route distance analysis, using electronic logbooks and statistical tools. Commercial vehicle operators can benefit from these solutions to optimize fuel efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and ensure vehicle condition and driver weariness compliance. Additionally, OEMs and technology partners offer aftermarket services and hardware flexibility to cater to various fleet needs. The use of ELDs also facilitates tax reporting and road transportation, including last-mile deliveries and truck operations. However, challenges such as poor connectivity, driver weariness, and hacking risks persist, requiring continuous improvement in technology and safety measures.The trucking industry is facing a significant challenge due to a shortage of drivers. In 2017, there was a shortfall of over 50,000 truck drivers in the US, and this number is projected to reach 175,000 by 2026. The main reasons for this shortage include low wages, long working hours, and the implementation of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). The issue is particularly acute in urban and semi-urban markets, where truck drivers earn an average of USD21 per hour according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The trucking industry needs to address this issue to ensure the timely delivery of goods and maintain efficiency in the supply chain.
