What's open right now
Your money moves at the speed of the slowest rail in the chain. An exchange that never closes still cannot wire dollars while Fedwire is dark — this clock shows both sides at once.
Live status
| Venue | Type | Local time | Session | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
NYSE / Nasdaq United States | Equities | — | 09:30–16:00 local | — | Regular session. Pre-market from 04:00 and after-hours to 20:00 exist but are thinner and wider. |
London Stock Exchange United Kingdom | Equities | — | 08:00–16:30 local | — | Continuous trading between the opening and closing auctions. |
Euronext Euro area | Equities | — | 09:00–17:30 local | — | Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, Lisbon, Dublin and Milan share the session. |
Tokyo Stock Exchange Japan | Equities | — | 09:00–15:30 local | — | Trades through the former lunch break since the 2024 session extension. |
Hong Kong Exchange Hong Kong | Equities | — | 09:30–16:00 local | — | Includes a midday break from 12:00 to 13:00 that this clock does not model. |
Fedwire United States | Banking rail | — | 21:00–19:00 local | — | Opens 21:00 the prior evening and closes 19:00 ET. Large-value USD settlement stops on weekends. |
ACH United States | Banking rail | — | 08:30–16:45 local | — | Same-day windows only on business days. A Friday evening ACH lands Monday at best. |
SEPA Instant Euro area | Banking rail | — | Always open | — | Genuinely 24/7 across participating banks, typically settling in under ten seconds. |
Pix Brazil | Banking rail | — | Always open | — | Instant, 24/7, and the reason Brazilian off-ramps settle at 3am on a Sunday. |
Ethereum Global | On-chain | — | Always open | — | No close, no holiday calendar. Liquidity still thins out on weekends — open is not the same as deep. |
Solana Global | On-chain | — | Always open | — | Sub-second settlement, always on. Tokenized stock venues here quote outside NYSE hours. |
Centralised exchanges Global | On-chain | — | Always open | — | Trading never stops, but fiat withdrawals still wait on the banking rails above. |
Regular sessions only. Public holidays, half-days and intraday breaks are not modelled — check the venue before relying on this for execution.
Market hours, answered
+ − Why does it matter that stablecoins trade when banks are closed?
Because the price of a token and the ability to convert it to cash are different things. A depeg on a Sunday cannot be arbitraged away by a bank wire until Monday morning, which is precisely why weekend deviations run wider than weekday ones.
+ − Can I buy tokenized stocks while the NYSE is closed?
Yes, on the 24/7 rails — but you are trading against a market maker's estimate of where the stock will open, not against the underlying market. Spreads widen sharply outside the regular session, and a weekend price is an opinion, not a quote.
+ − Which rails actually settle instantly?
SEPA Instant, Pix, and the public blockchains. Fedwire and ACH are business-hours systems, so a US off-ramp initiated Friday night is a Monday event no matter how fast the exchange side moves.
