IMF: Tokenized Stocks Draw Off-Hours Trading but Face Liquidity Gaps
An IMF analysis finds that tokenized stocks attract substantial trading outside U.S. market hours but remain more volatile and less liquid than traditional equities.
Tokenized stocks are attracting demand beyond the regular U.S. trading day, according to an International Monetary Fund analysis reported by Decrypt.
More than half of trading in these assets takes place outside U.S. market hours. The finding points to interest in accessing stock-linked markets when conventional exchanges are closed.
However, the roughly $2.3 billion market has lower liquidity and greater volatility than traditional equities, the analysis found. Those differences remain a limitation despite the demand for off-hours trading.
