Backpack has launched 24/7 trading for tokenized US equities, expanding access to tokenized stock markets beyond traditional trading hours. The move adds another exchange to the growing group of platforms offering always-on exposure to equities through blockchain-based products.
The development matters because tokenized stocks are becoming one of the fastest-growing segments in crypto, with both crypto exchanges and traditional finance firms competing to extend trading availability. That trend reflects broader interest in markets that can operate continuously rather than only during standard exchange hours.
Backpack’s launch also highlights how tokenization is being used to connect traditional assets with crypto infrastructure. By offering tokenized equities, platforms are trying to meet demand for more flexible access to familiar financial instruments.
The broader race for 24/7 stock trading is still developing, but it shows how quickly tokenized assets are moving from a niche concept into a more visible part of the market. As more firms enter the space, tokenized equities are likely to remain a focus for both crypto-native companies and established financial players.
