Nasdaq Backs One Trading for 24/7 Markets
Nasdaq Ventures has made a strategic investment in One Trading as regulated markets explore continuous trading infrastructure.
Traditional exchanges are beginning to adopt ideas that first became common in crypto markets.
What happened
Nasdaq Ventures made a strategic investment in One Trading, a regulated European derivatives venue.
The amount was not disclosed.
The companies plan to explore collaboration around modern derivatives infrastructure and potentially continuous trading models.
Why it matters
Traditional markets operate around fixed trading hours, separate clearing layers and legacy settlement processes.
Crypto markets demonstrated that investors can trade continuously with much faster infrastructure.
Bringing some of those ideas into regulated capital markets could change how derivatives are traded and managed.
The bigger picture
Market infrastructure is entering a modernisation cycle.
The interesting shift is not simply crypto moving toward traditional finance, but traditional finance adopting technology patterns that emerged from digital-asset markets.
Nasdaq's investment suggests that 24/7 trading and real-time infrastructure are becoming more credible within mainstream exchanges.
