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

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. Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer, stated that the company needs to offer a trading environment that truly reflects where capital markets are heading and one that drives the demand/liquidity leg of strategic priorities by making open infrastructure more appealing to the digitally native community that's active worldwide and more interoperable with other tokenized assets. 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 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. The expansion to near-continuous trading hours represents a significant evolution in how regulated financial markets can operate, potentially increasing liquidity and accessibility for both traditional and emerging asset classes within a compliant framework.
