Wall Street No Longer Closes at 4 p.m, Today, $500 Million in Tokenized Stocks Continue Trading

Detailed price information for Robinhood Markets Cl A (HOOD-Q) from The Globe and Mail including charting and trades.

  • Tokenized stocks, exemplified by Binance's bStocks, are facilitating 24/7 trading, capturing significant volume and price discovery even when traditional markets are closed.
  • This shift is driven by user demand for 'access on their own terms,' with a notable participation from Gen Z and institutional investors seeking alternative yield and risk transfer opportunities.
  • While tokenized markets have achieved continuous trading ahead of traditional infrastructure, challenges remain in liquidity, volatility, and the need for ecosystem-wide coordination for sustainable, large-scale implementation.

BlackRock Cuts IBIT In-Kind Conversion Minimum To $1M

BlackRock has reduced the in-kind conversion minimum for its iShares Bitcoin Trust from $25 million to $1 million, potentially making the mechanism available to a wider group of institutional participants.

  • BlackRock has lowered the minimum for in-kind conversions for its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) from $25 million to $1 million.
  • This change aims to increase accessibility for a broader range of institutional participants by reducing operational thresholds for ETF creation and redemption.
  • The adjustment is a refinement of Bitcoin ETF infrastructure, enhancing institutional usability rather than enabling direct retail redemption of ETF shares for Bitcoin.
