Strategic Investment from Shinhan Securities Enhances 24X National Exchange

24X US Holdings LLC, the innovative firm behind the 24X National Exchange, has recently announced a significant strategic equity investment from Shinhan Securities of Korea. This infusion of capital is expected to play a pivotal role in accelerating the expansion of the only SEC-approved U.S. stock exchange that operates 23 hours each workday.

Founded to provide enhanced trading solutions, the 24X National Exchange commenced operations in October, allowing both retail and institutional clients worldwide to trade U.S. equities through licensed broker-dealers. The current trading hours are set from 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET on weekdays. Looking ahead, the exchange plans to extend its trading capabilities to 23/5 format, which will enable trading from 8:00 PM ET on Sundays to 8:00 PM ET on Fridays, with a scheduled one-hour maintenance break each day. This expansion is anticipated to roll out in the latter half of 2026, pending necessary approvals and adjustments to market infrastructure.

The alliance with Shinhan Securities follows a previous investment from Rakuten Securities, a well-known Japanese online trading firm, highlighting the growing international recognition of the 24X platform's cutting-edge technology and its market access solutions aimed at enhancing trader experiences.

Dmitri Galinov, the founder and CEO of 24X National Exchange, emphasized the significance of this investment, stating, "With the backing of Shinhan Securities and Rakuten Securities, we are uniquely positioned to enhance our offerings in liquidity, transparency, and efficiency for traders in U.S. equities, regardless of their geographic location." He further explained that both strategic partnerships will help tailor the exchange's services to better serve global broker-dealer communities, particularly in Asia.

This partnership marks the first investment made by Shinhan Securities in a U.S. stock exchange, demonstrating its commitment to collaborating with firms that are pioneering advanced trading technologies. Representatives from Shinhan noted their intention to support technological advancements in trading that can deliver substantial benefits to investors and other market participants in their region.
