24 Exchange Receives SEC Approval of its New National Securities Exchange, “24X National Exchange”
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 /PRNewswire/ — 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.

The global mobile wallet and payment market is set for explosive growth, with projections indicating a surge to $71.28 billion by 2031. This remarkable expansion, driven by increase in demand for multi-currency mobile wallets and growing demand for contactless payment solutions.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — According to a new comprehensive report from The Insight Partners, the global Mobile Wallet and Payment market is observing significant growth owing to the demand for multi-currency mobile wallets. Remitting money from one home country to another can be a time-consuming operation owing to the varied conversion rates, high remittance fees, and related taxes.

The multi-currency digital wallet eases overseas payments and currency conversions. Moreover, the multi-currency wallet provides various guaranteed benefits for cross-border payments.

The global mobile wallet and payment market is observing substantial growth and is expected to maintain its upward trajectory in the foreseeable future. This growth can be accredited to numerous factors. Firstly, contactless payment adoption has risen dramatically across the globe, as it eliminates consumers’ need to carry cash while making purchases. Digital payments, which include near-field communication (NFC) and QR code-based transactions, are becoming more popular. Consumers are highly preferring contactless payment solutions for speeding financial transactions. The demand for a quick, safe, and clean payment method, particularly in the post-pandemic era, has accelerated the use of contactless technology. This has transformed the checkout experience in both physical and digital stores, making faster and more convenient transactions.
Increasing Government Initiatives for Adoption of Mobile Wallet and Payment Solutions: Mobile wallet and payment solutions are critical for consumers and businesses, as they increase accessibility, improve security, reduce transactional costs, and make payments faster. Increasing technological advancements, rising consumer demand for two-factor authentication (2FA) security, and other factors are boosting the demand for mobile wallets and payment solutions. This also encourages government bodies to take initiatives to support the adoption of mobile wallets and payment solutions in order to secure their business from financial risks. For instance, the DigiDhan Mission, established under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in India, aims to promote a cashless economy and provide a smooth digital payment experience for all citizens.
Expansion of E-Commerce Industry: The rise in the e-commerce business and consumers’ preference for online shopping has increased the adoption of mobile wallets and payment solutions for making quick payments. In May 2024, The Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce revealed that the estimate of the US retail e-commerce sales for the first quarter of 2024 was US$ 289.2 billion due to the seasonal variation adjustments and not price change. This represents a 2.1% (±0.7%) rise from the fourth quarter of 2023. Retail sales in the first quarter of 2024 stood at US$ 1,820.0 billion, with a fall of 0.1 % (±0.4%) from the fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, e-commerce expanded by 8.6% (±1.1%) compared with the first quarter of 2023. Total retail sales were increased by 1.5% (±0.5%). In the first quarter of 2024, e-commerce sales made up 15.9% of the total sales.

Emergence of Real-Time Payments in Developing Nations: Efficient and secure ways to make transactions are increasing the demand for real-time payments (RTPs). These technologies have made payments more convenient, quick, and secure, as well as eliminating the need for cash or cheques. The acceptance of RTPs has enabled rapid payment between businesses and organizations. Users can initiate payments at a minimal or no cost using a mobile number or QR code, eliminating the necessity for bank account details. Countries, including Kenya, Mexico, Brazil, and Sweden, are increasingly demanding mobile wallets and payment solutions to conduct transactions in real-time. The usage of mobile devices has been one of the most significant advances in real-time payment systems. With the growth of smartphones and mobile payments, consumers can easily send and receive payments on the go, eliminating the need for a computer or physical card reader.
