Announcement (21/7/26): “London Stock Exchange today announced plans to launch London Stock Exchange 24 (LSE 24), a new 24/5 trading venue to support the next generation of digital, algorithmic and agentic trading. LSE 24 is designed to support near-continuous trading from Monday to Friday, giving global investors greater flexibility to respond to market events, access liquidity across time zones and manage risk. The venue, which will be built on LSEG’s trusted financial market infrastructure, complements existing market structures by preserving the resilience and integrity of regular trading hours, while opening new opportunities for participation outside the traditional trading day in the UK. It will operate separately from the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market, which will continue to operate its existing trading hours. LSE 24 will be available for client testing by the end of 2026, with Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) launching as the first asset class in H1 2027, subject to regulatory approval. ETPs are a natural starting point, given London’s established position as a leading international ETP hub and the strong global demand for products that provide efficient exposure to markets worldwide. The venue intends to draw on elements of central limit order book and request-for-quote functionality to support price transparency and on-demand liquidity, with the flexibility to expand into equities as the next step. Connecting trusted financial markets infrastructure and cutting-edge AI enabled workflows – LSE 24 will enable secure native connectivity for the next generation of agent-based trading capabilities. This connectivity will allow clients to interact with market data, order management and execution workflows in more automated and intuitive ways, while maintaining the governance, resilience and controls of a regulated market. By combining extended-hours access with agentic connectivity, the venue is designed to support the next generation of market participation as trading becomes more digital, automated and globally connected. The foundation for better connected markets, bridging traditional and digital finance with digital networks and settlement Subject to regulatory approvals, LSE 24 will leverage LSEG’s Digital Securities Depository (DSD), currently also being built with active market engagement. LSEG DSD creates the foundation for the digitisation of issuance, settlement and asset servicing, thus enabling greater reach for LSE 24. The DSD will expand into different asset classes to meet client demand and enable new functionalities across markets. LSEG will interoperate with other market participants to shape the evolution of the market and accelerate adoption.” Note ~ London Stock Exchange 24 will operate from 17:00 to 07:50 with a 30-minute pause between 18:30 and 19:00 to apply End of Day processes.
