More than 70% of tokenized equity trading on BNB Chain is happening outside regular U.S. market hours, and it’s nearly as high on Solana and Base. That points to investors using blockchain-based stocks when Wall Street is closed, not just during New York’s 9:30-to-4 session. For users in Asia, Europe, or the Middle East, round-the-clock access means exposure to U.S. equities without waiting for the bell.
Numbers from Bitget and Blockworks put after-hours volume at 71.4% on BNB Chain, 63% on Solana, and nearly 60% on Base. That also helps explain why Solana and BNB Chain are capturing so much of that flow. Both networks are built around fast settlement and relatively low transaction costs, features better suited to smaller, more frequent trades.
The practical takeaway is straightforward: tokenized equities are showing real demand outside regular U.S. trading hours. For now, one of their clearest use cases is continuous access when traditional markets are closed.
