tZERO Expands Trading Hours to Nearly 24/7 on SEC-Regulated Platform

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. 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.

"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 announcement signals a significant shift toward accommodating global investors who operate across time zones and expect continuous market access similar to cryptocurrency exchanges.

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 at https://brokercheck.finra.org. 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. This regulatory framework provides institutional investors with confidence in the platform's compliance standards while enabling access to emerging digital asset classes.

The expanded trading hours represent more than just operational convenience – they reflect a fundamental transformation in how regulated markets can operate in the digital age. By offering near-continuous trading through regulated infrastructure, tZERO is positioning itself at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology. This move could potentially increase liquidity for tokenized assets, attract more institutional participation, and set new standards for market accessibility in the evolving digital securities landscape.
