The CEO of a leading trading platform recently shared an interesting perspective – the trading hours and settlement mechanisms of traditional markets should really be eliminated.

It makes you think, why do global users have to wait for the U.S. stock market to open to trade quality assets? It's already 2025, and we're still playing by the 9 to 5 rules?

The solution he mentioned is quite straightforward: tokenized assets. What can this thing achieve? Instant settlement, 24/7 availability. No need to wait for T+2 settlement, no need to worry about time zones, trade whenever you want.

In simple terms, it means moving traditional assets onto the chain and reconstructing trading rules using the logic of blockchain. This idea is not actually new, but hearing it from industry leaders makes it feel like the progress of this matter may be faster than expected.
