tZERO Group, Inc. announced a major expansion of trading availability on its SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System, with 24/7 order entry and 23.5 hours of trading on business days beginning December 15, 2025. The execution windows will run from 12:05am to 11:35pm ET, Monday through Friday, excluding market holidays, through the ATS operated by tZERO's broker-dealer subsidiary, tZERO Securities, LLC.
This enhancement represents a substantial step in tZERO's global convergence strategy, which aims to create unified smart contract-driven infrastructure for seamless cross-border and cross-asset access to both tokenized and traditional assets. By extending trading windows to nearly the full business day, the platform moves closer to the round-the-clock availability that characterizes modern digital markets.
"We need to offer a trading environment that truly reflects where capital markets are heading – and, importantly, one that drives the demand/liquidity leg of our strategic priorities by making our open infrastructure more appealing to the digitally native community that's lit up 24/7 worldwide and more interoperable with other tokenized assets," said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer.
The update applies to all assets eligible to trade on the tZERO ATS's regulated infrastructure, which is designed to meet institutional requirements. This development is part of tZERO's broader mission to create a connected, multi-asset platform that bridges traditional finance and Web3 through regulated, programmable, and globally accessible infrastructure.
tZERO Digital Asset Securities, LLC, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and member of FINRA and SIPC, serves as the custodian for digital asset securities on tZERO's platform. More information about tZERO Digital Asset Securities may be found on FINRA's BrokerCheck. Similarly, tZERO Securities, LLC, also registered with the SEC and member of FINRA and SIPC, operates the tZERO Securities ATS, with additional details available through the same regulatory resource.
For business and technology leaders, this announcement signals a maturation of regulated digital asset trading infrastructure that could accelerate institutional adoption. The extended hours address a critical gap between traditional market schedules and the global, always-on nature of digital assets, potentially increasing liquidity and attracting international participants. This move positions tZERO's platform as a bridge between conventional financial systems and emerging tokenized economies, offering a regulated pathway for institutions to engage with Web3 technologies while maintaining compliance standards.
The implications extend beyond trading convenience to potentially reshape how assets are managed globally. By creating infrastructure that supports both tokenized and traditional assets on a nearly continuous schedule, tZERO is addressing the fragmentation that has hindered broader digital asset integration. This development could serve as a model for other regulated platforms seeking to accommodate global investors while maintaining the oversight required by institutional stakeholders.
