Article The End of the Closing Bell: Rethinking Institutional Trading in a 23/5 Cycle
Imagine the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or Nasdaq humming at 3 a.m. That’s the vision behind 23/5 trading, or rather the U.S. stock markets operating 23 hours a day, five days a week, with a one-hour daily pause for maintenance. This model is gaining traction as exchanges respond to a 24-hour news cycle and global investor demand.

Cutter's ResearchArticle Building AI Governance Without Killing Innovation

However, as firms accelerate their AI use, many face a common challenge: establishing governance without slowing down innovation. Interviews with Cutter Research members and our survey data results show this challenge is widespread and remains unresolved. Cutter’s 2025 AI Governance member survey found that 41% of participants identified the fear of hindering innovation as a top challenge in scaling their AI governance.
