If you’re an investor in Thailand, the US market opens while you’re asleep. That’s starting to change. Rohit Mahna, Chief Revenue Officer at DriveWealth, sits down with JD Durkin at Money 20/20 USA in Las Vegas to explain how the move to 23-hour trading, and eventually 24/7, is opening US markets to investors around the world on their own schedule. Mahna shares how DriveWealth powers investing for more than 100 banks, fintechs and neobanks in about 30 countries, handling everything under the hood from settlement and custody to clearing and compliance. Fresh off a world tour, he describes a massive rise in retail investing across the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia and Latin America, where new investors want fractional shares, access inside the apps they already use and blue chip names like Tesla and Nvidia. He also looks ahead to how AI can help first-time investors become more educated, and why the firms that balance innovation with compliance will win.
