Woofun AI reports that the London Stock Exchange intends to introduce a night trading venue in the first half of 2027. This initiative positions LSE among global exchanges expanding toward near-24-hour operations to compete with crypto markets and tokenized stock platforms.

The night session will function separately from the main market, running from 17:00 to 07:50 London time. Initial offerings will include exchange-traded products tracking UK or US equities. The primary market maintains its standard 08:00 to 16:30 schedule. CEO Julia Hoggett cited rising retail investor demand for UK and global asset exposure within the London time zone as the driver.
