Stock Around The Clock: Remarks At The Roundtable On Preparations For 24-Hour Trading, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Washington D.C., Sept. 17, 2026

Date 17/09/2026

Good morning, and welcome to today’s roundtable. As usual, I must begin with my standard disclaimer: my views are my own as a Commissioner and not necessarily those of the SEC or my fellow commissioners. That disclaimer is so familiar that I can recite it in my sleep, which brings me to the topic of today’s roundtable: overnight trading. This roundtable answers a call that Commissioner Crenshaw and I made nearly two years ago when the Commission approved 24X National Exchange’s registration application and follows the informative roundtable that SIFMA hosted earlier this year.

Calibration Test – ISDA IQ September 2026

Date 17/09/2026

Calibrating capital requirements is a highly complex undertaking and getting it wrong can have serious consequences. Too much lenience might lead to banks holding insufficient capital to mitigate their risks. But excess conservatism can put balance sheets under strain, forcing banks to either raise costs for end users or withdraw from certain businesses, with negative repercussions for the economy.

Good morning and welcome to the SEC’s roundtable on 24-Hour Trading. Thanks to those of you who are here in person at SEC headquarters as well as to those who are watching over our livestream.

Remarks At The 24-Hour Trading Roundtable, Paul S. Atkins, SEC Chairman, Washington D.C., Sept. 17, 2026

Date 17/09/2026

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us today to discuss preparations for expanding 24-hour trading in the U.S. equities markets. Before sharing a few reflections, I must note that the views I express here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the SEC as an institution or of my fellow Commissioners.

Remarks At The Roundtable On Preparations For 24‑Hour Trading, Jamie Selway, Director, SEC Division Of Trading And Markets, Washington D.C., Sept. 17, 2026

Date 17/09/2026

Thank you, Chairman Atkins, and Commissioners Peirce and Uyeda, for your remarks this morning and for your support of industry and Division efforts to prepare for a 24-hour marketplace. Once again, I thank Commissioner Peirce for her idea of a roundtable on a timely, relevant topic. I wish Commissioner Peirce nothing but the best as she winds down an impressive and impactful tenure as a regulator and begins an honorable new chapter as a teacher. But I selfishly hope that she will still find time to think of compelling roundtable ideas for her old friends at the Division.

Slumber Number: Innovation Exemption Statement, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Sept. 17, 2026

Date 17/09/2026

The innovation exemption has arrived. Today, the Commission issued an order containing time-limited exemptions designed to permit onchain trading of stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges. Adapting the Commission’s rules to new technologies is hard work, and I commend the Division of Trading and Markets, the Crypto Task Force, and other staff for their work on these exemptions. These exemptions enable market participants to experiment to be prepared for a future in which trading tokenized stocks onchain is commonplace. Taken together with the Division of Trading and Market’s April statement on interfaces used to prepare transactions in crypto asset securities, today’s action is also a major step forward in allowing individuals greater personal autonomy to own and trade their own assets without the need for unnecessary intermediaries.

Bitcoin Faces Twin Headwinds As Fed Turns Hawkish And CLARITY Act Stalls: Market Comment, James Butterfill, Head of Research, CoinShares

Date 17/09/2026

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares said:

The outlook for crypto has become more challenging over the past week, with two main headwinds now limiting the prospect of a meaningful breakout in Bitcoin prices, namely the setback to the CLARITY Act and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Neither changes the longer-term thesis, but both push the timing of a more sustained recovery further out.
