Dmitri Galinov’s Bermuda-based OTC trading platform 24 Exchange has announced the formation of an inaugural Board of Directors for 24X National Exchange, the first US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-approved national securities exchange to offer 23-hour daily trading of US equities, under full regulatory supervision.
24 Exchange said the Board of Directors convenes proven senior executives from the financial, legal, regulatory and investment communities who will guide the establishment of 24X National Exchange as the preeminent SEC-approved exchange to offer 23-hours-a-day trading in US equities.
The appointed members of the Board of Directors are:
“The establishment of this esteemed Board of Directors is a key milestone for 24X National Exchange as it begins its first phase of operations,” said Dmitri Galinov, founder and CEO of 24X. “This is a group of highly accomplished leaders in their respective fields, and I am confident that their collective strategic insight and experience will prove invaluable as we work to make 23-hour daily trading a reality for US equities globally.”
In November 2024, the Exchange became the first national exchange to receive SEC approval for 23/5 trading hours operation, subject to the implementation of necessary amendments to the Stock Data Programs and subsequent rule filings confirming its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act. Trading on the 24X National Exchange began on October 14, 2025 with extended trading hours for US equities from 4:00 A.M. to 8:00 p.m. ET on weekdays.
Pending final approvals and market infrastructure alignment, the 24X National Exchange expects to begin trading on 5/23 in the second half of 2026. At this stage, the Exchange will operate from 8:00 p.m. ET on Sunday until 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday, with a one-hour daily pause for operational maintenance.
