The London Stock Exchange (LSE) will open a new venue outside of its regular market hours, a move to offer "near-continuous trading" and better compete with the 24/7 trading espoused by crypto platforms.
The new offering, which will be called LSE 24, will operate from 5 pm until 7:50 am in London and is expected to be ready for client testing by the end of 2026, according to a statement Tuesday. It will operate separately from the bourse's main market, which will continue to operate as usual.
