Crypto exchange Backpack on Friday launched 24/7 trading in selected real U.S. equities for eligible international investors, announcing the rollout from San Francisco.
The platform says users can buy, hold and sell the securities outside regular U.S. market hours. SpaceX and Micron are among the first available names, alongside SanDisk.
Backpack describes the product as two connected services. Its brokerage side provides security entitlements linked to conventional U.S. custody and clearing infrastructure, including dividend and corporate-action rights.
Users can also convert holdings into 1:1 redeemable tokenized securities through Sunrise on Solana. Accounts accept USD or USDC, while Backpack says sale proceeds become available in the user’s USD balance instantly.
The company’s published schedule qualifies the 24/7 label. Trading runs from Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET through Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET, closing on weekends and U.S. market holidays.
The United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Japan and Backpack EU are restricted. Extended-hours orders also require whole shares.
“Market infrastructure is moving towards a simple idea: capital doesn’t sleep,” said Armani Ferrante, Co-Founder and CEO of Backpack.
The launch follows Backpack’s earlier rollout of tokenized Micron shares with Sunrise. The company says more equities will follow.
