Roman Korotchin on Finextra: Execution Is Becoming the Real Bottleneck of 24/7 Markets

‍Origami Tech has appeared on Finextra in a new expert column by Roman Korotchin, co-founder of the company. The article looks at the accelerating shift of financial markets toward 24/7 access and highlights why execution infrastructure, not asset availability, is becoming the main constraint for market participants.

Financial markets are moving toward continuous access faster than their execution infrastructure can adapt.

Crypto has operated around the clock for years, but a similar model is now beginning to emerge around traditional market exposure. In March 2026, Trade.xyz launched the first officially licensed S&P 500 perpetual contract on Hyperliquid, providing 24/7 onchain access to one of the world's most widely followed equity benchmarks.

The introduction of continuously available equity and commodity exposure creates new operational requirements for market participants. Traders can now hold positions through weekends, react to geopolitical developments outside traditional market hours, and manage risk in environments where price discovery continues without interruption.

Market access is becoming increasingly available across venues. Execution quality, liquidity management, and operational efficiency are receiving greater attention as trading activity expands across continuously operating markets.

Execution Quality Shapes Trading Outcomes

The availability of an asset does not guarantee efficient trading conditions. Market participants still depend on liquidity depth, stable funding conditions, reliable order execution, and effective risk controls.

For active traders, execution quality is influenced by several interconnected factors, including spreads, slippage, market depth, funding behavior, latency, collateral efficiency, liquidation exposure, and order routing performance. These variables contribute directly to trading outcomes and become increasingly important as market activity expands across multiple venues.

The operational burden associated with monitoring these conditions increases alongside market complexity. Participants operating across several exchanges, perpetual markets, and liquidity pools must continuously evaluate changing market conditions while managing positions and collateral in real time.

The development of onchain finance will be shaped by liquidity provision, execution quality, risk management systems, and operational infrastructure capable of supporting continuously active markets. Markets can operate twenty-four hours a day only when the systems supporting liquidity, execution, and risk management are capable of operating on the same schedule.
