What is Off-Hours trading?

Ondo Global Markets generally follows the trading schedule of the underlying US markets, so trading is typically available from Sunday evening through Friday evening (see Market Hours & Trading Availability). Off-Hours trading extends a select set of assets so they remain tradable even when the traditional US market is closed. Most notably over weekends and on holidays which brings those assets closer to a 24/7 trading experience.Off-Hours is treated as its own trading session. It runs whenever the conventional sessions are closed: principally over the weekend, from Friday evening until trading reopens on Sunday evening, as well as on market holidays (including early-close days). You can always see whether Off-Hours trading is currently open at status.ondo.finance.

​
Which assets are available during Off-Hours?

At launch, the following assets are tradable during the Off-Hours session:
  • SPYon
  • QQQon
  • CRCLon
  • NVDAon
  • TSLAon
  • GOOGLon
We expect to support additional assets over time. Off-Hours availability is enabled on a per-asset basis, so the most up-to-date list is always reflected at status.ondo.finance and in the Ondo Global Markets API. Assets that are not enabled for Off-Hours simply remain on their normal trading schedule.

​
Which blockchains support Off-Hours trading?

At launch, Off-Hours trading is available on the Ethereum and BNB Chain networks, with support for Solana planned for a later date.

​
Does anything work differently during Off-Hours?

The core experience is the same: buys and sells are quoted, minted, and redeemed instantly, just as they are during regular hours. There are a couple of things worth keeping in mind:
  • Pricing and spreads. As during regular hours, quote prices are generated by our proprietary pricing method based on prevailing market conditions (learn more). Because liquidity is generally lower while the traditional markets are closed, bid-ask spreads can be wider during Off-Hours, which can result in slightly different pricing than you would see during an active session.
  • Order sizes and limits. Each supported asset has its own Off-Hours trading limit, separate from its regular-session limits and set conservatively. These limits are dynamic and move as trading occurs, so the maximum size available at any given moment may be smaller than during regular sessions. When an asset reaches its Off-Hours limit, trading in that asset may be temporarily restricted and individual quote requests may be declined until the limit frees up. Current limits are always available at status.ondo.finance and via the API.

​
How do I check Off-Hours status and limits?

For most users, the simplest option is the status page at status.ondo.finance, which shows whether Off-Hours trading is open and which assets are currently tradable.If you are integrating with our API, the Get Current Market Status endpoint reports the Off-Hours window through a dedicated offhours object, and the Get Session Limits endpoint returns an offhours entry with the limits that apply while the US market is closed. Because these limits move continuously as trades fill, treat any returned value as a point-in-time snapshot, re-check as needed, and handle quote rejections gracefully.You can always check whether Off-Hours trading is open, which assets are supported, and current trading limits at status.ondo.finance.
