Cointelegraph's Crypto Biz column of Oct 16, 2026 reports that tokenized stocks are drawing trading activity outside Wall Street's regular hours. The traditional market closes at 4, but the tokenized versions of stocks keep trading after that. Sam Bourgi wrote the piece and Robert Lakin edited it.
The column says tokenization is starting to change traditional financial markets, and that stocks are getting more of the attention. It treats after-hours activity in tokenized shares as one sign of that shift.
The same column covers two other items. Bitcoin miners are facing high costs as they expand into AI, and new accounting rules could benefit stablecoins.
The text available to us does not say which tokenized stocks are trading, on which platforms or in what volume. It also does not name the miners involved or explain what the accounting rules are.
For someone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this report changes nothing directly. It does not mention perpetual futures, funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on any of these four exchanges. Right now, the story is about where and when tokenized stocks trade, not about what it costs to hold a perp.
