ICE plans to launch a platform for 24/7 trading and instant settlement of tokenized securities later this year, pending regulatory approvals.
The system combines NYSE’s Pillar matching engine with blockchain-based post-trade solutions, supporting multiple chains, fractional-share trading, dollar-sized orders, and stablecoin funding for equities and ETFs.

ICE to extend Europe gas and power trading hours to 22 hours

ICE

Product Launch

22-hour trading: ICE will extend UK and EU natural gas and power contracts to 22 hours a day (01:50–00:00 CET) from their current 08:00–18:00 CET schedule, effective Feb. 23, 2026, pending regulatory and governance approvals.
Move aligns European trading with major international benchmarks—US Henry Hub and Asia’s JKM—reflecting a post-2022 surge in liquidity and growing US LNG imports.
Record activity: TTF futures and options traded about 103 million contracts through 2025; ICE is also launching TTF daily options.
Analysts forecast stronger price convergence between US and European markets but caution the change may chiefly benefit large US money managers over smaller firms.
