NEW YORK (Reuters) – Deposit Trusts and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a depository company at Market Infrastructure Company, said Tuesday it plans to increase the opening hours of Clearing Services to support U.S. stock trading in the second quarter of 2026, according to a statement.
When clearing a transaction, DTCC handles it and handles the risk to avoid confusion.
The Clearinghouse move is because US exchanges plan to offer 24-hour trading. NASDAQ President Tal Cohen wrote in a social media post earlier this month that he began debating with regulators to launch a 24-hour, five-day deal in the second half of 2026.
Rival Exchange CBOE Global Market and the operator of the New York Stock Exchange, InterContinental Exchange, also plans a 24-hour trading service.
With review and approval of pending regulations still pending, the new clearing offer from DTCC’s National Securities Clearing Corporation aims to ensure that infrastructure exchanges require long-term trading.
NSCC said it will be open until 8pm (Monday) 8pm (Monday 0000 GMT) and 8pm (Saturday 0000 GMT). Last year, Clearinghouse was able to submit trading platforms at 1:30am (0530 GMT) (0530 GMT), about 2.5 hours ago.
