On February 12th, The ETF Store President Nate Geraci posted on social media that Schwab plans to extend retail stock and ETF trading hours to five days a week, 24 hours a day. Geraci stated that this move shows that traditional finance is gradually moving closer to the decentralized finance (DeFi) trading model, and in the long term may move towards comprehensive securities tokenization. Geraci further pointed out that although some believe investors should not be able to trade at any time, the new generation of investors values the accessibility of trading, rather than arbitrary restrictions based on personal opinions.
