Blue Ocean Launches Blockchain-Based 24/7 Stock Trading Platform
On October 10, Blue Ocean, an off-exchange platform for overnight US stock trading, announced its entry into blockchain-based equity offerings. This allows investors to trade blue-chip stocks like Apple and Tesla after traditional markets close.
- Blue Ocean plans to list stocks directly on the blockchain, enabling 24/7 trading in smaller fractions.
- This move could democratize equity ownership, offering continuous market access globally.
- The initiative follows a system upgrade in August due to a system overload.
