Tokenization Will ‘Unlock 24/7 Markets’
In an X post on Tuesday, Tenev framed the current market structure—which includes closures on weekends and holidays—as a temporary limitation that will soon seem absurd.
“There was a time when you couldn’t trade stocks on your phone,” Tenev wrote. “Imagine explaining to someone in 2035 that back in 2025, markets closed on weekends and holidays.”
He argued that the technology to enable constant trading is here and that its adoption is a matter of when, not if.
He compared the shift to the advent of mobile trading, noting, “It’s the same story every time: access feels impossible until it’s within reach.”
