MEXC Reports Nearly Half of Tokenized Stock Trading Happens Outside U.S. Market Hours

WHY IT MATTERS

Traditional stock markets have set opening and closing times, much like a physical store with business hours. If important news about a company comes out after the market closes, investors typically have to wait until the next morning to buy or sell shares. Tokenized stocks are like digital copies of those shares that trade on crypto platforms, which are open around the clock — similar to how an online store never closes. MEXC's data suggests that many traders find value in being able to react to news immediately, regardless of the time of day. For anyone new to crypto, this illustrates one way blockchain-based platforms are attempting to offer features that traditional financial markets currently do not, though these products come with their own risks and regulatory uncertainties.
