Blue Ocean Tech seeks to expand the development of the after-hours markets for U.S.-listed securities, including ETFs and related securities. The new platform will provide U.S.-based traders the ability to track off-hours market movement and react accordingly. Importantly, investors will now be able to better manage risks.

Additionally, the platform provides opportunities for foreign investors to have after-hours access to the U.S. capital markets. Providing 24-hour access to the securities markets is important for a myriad of reasons. For one, it provides users with more investment opportunities. This data and technical services are critical for the functionality of numerous regulated trading venues.

Strategic Partnerships

Speaking on the developments, Blue Ocean Management CEO and President Ralph Layman described how the strategic partnership brings much-needed senior management resources to the platform. In turn, this experienced leadership can help guide the platform through its next growth stages.

For its part, Blue Ocean Management will provide management and expertise. The firm has experience building FinTech firms from startup. As such the company seeks to expand the support for 24-hour market access for both securities and EFTs. Together, securities and EFTs are the second largest class of investments across Asia and Europe.

Major Backing Continues

Blue Ocean management isn’t alone in its quest to further develop the off-trading hour capabilities of firms. Already, the FinTech firm managed to secure support from some of the largest players in the game. One such investor is tZERO.

Earlier in the year, Overstock.com’s blockchain subsidiary tZERO became another major backer in the Blue Ocean platform. tZERO is a market pioneer in the space and their backing showcases the true potential that Blue Ocean’s 24-hour strategy possesses.  tZERO has filed numerous blockchain patents over the last two years. The firm is at the forefront of blockchain adoption.

Discussing the investment strategy, tZERO’s CEO, Saum Noursalehi praised the new partnership. He explained how the maneuver allows tZERO to “focus on its important strategic initiatives with digital securities.” tZERO seeks to tokenize the traditional financial markets over the next 5-10 years.

Blue Ocean Moves Forward

As the more industries migrate to a blockchain-based system, it’s important that developers create the ecosystem to support the robust capabilities of these new platforms.  Both analysts and traders agree that 24-hour access to markets is one of the best ways to spur growth. This line of thought becomes more evident when you consider that this new strategy opens up the US market to international investors in a way previously unimaginable.

The Blue Ocean platform brings greater efficiency and transparency to capital markets. In this way, analysts predict the platform to be disruptive to the current systems. You can expect to hear more from this unique platform as development continues over the coming months.
