Paul Atkins argued for round-the-clock US equities by pointing to clearing, price-band and market-data work the industry has already done, while noting that the views were his own.

Coinbase's layer-2 traded $100 million of tokenized Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet and Meta in one session, 26 days after the last time it managed that, and a single exchange has routed more than 77% of the flow since August.
