tZERO Expands Trading Hours to Near 24/7 on SEC-Regulated Alternative Trading System

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.

Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer, emphasized the strategic importance of this expansion, stating that the company needs to offer a trading environment that truly reflects where capital markets are heading. He noted that this enhancement drives the demand and liquidity leg of strategic priorities by making the open infrastructure more appealing to the digitally native community that operates worldwide around the clock and more interoperable with other tokenized assets.

The regulatory framework supporting this expansion involves multiple entities. 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. 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 expansion of trading hours represents a significant evolution in how regulated financial markets can adapt to the demands of global digital commerce. By providing nearly continuous trading access through SEC-regulated infrastructure, tZERO is positioning itself at the intersection of traditional finance and emerging digital asset markets. The move toward 24/7 trading availability reflects broader industry trends where digital assets and traditional securities increasingly converge on unified platforms. This development has implications for institutional investors seeking regulated access to tokenized assets and for the broader financial ecosystem's transition toward more accessible, programmable infrastructure.
