LSE Targets Crypto-Grade Governance for Overnight Trading

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has announced plans to introduce overnight trading by 2027, aiming for 24/7 markets. This move is seen as a response to the success of cryptocurrencies, which have already implemented around-the-clock trading.

The LSE's goal is to adopt 'crypto-grade governance' and increase transparency in its operations. This includes implementing on-chain transparency, data ethics, climate-social risk reporting, and powering its operations with renewables.

The exchange wants to make sustainability measurable, rather than relying on vague 'vibes'. The exact details of how this will be achieved are not yet clear.
