Earnings, product launches and big news often land outside that window. By the time the market reopens, the move has often already happened. That is how traders get left behind, watching a gap they could not act on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tokenized spot on Mudrex changes your market access, letting you buy or sell Meta exposure at any hour, including weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains how round-the-clock 24\/7 trading actually works, what sets the price when the US market is shut, and the rules worth following before you place an off-hours trade. Want to know all about Meta Platforms Inc? Start with our <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/meta-stock-complete-guide-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/meta-stock-complete-guide-india\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete guide to Meta (META) stock.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What 24\/7 Means for Meta Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular Nasdaq trading runs from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM US Eastern time. In India, that works out to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Period<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>US clock<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>India time (IST)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>US daylight saving (March to early November)<\/td><td>9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EDT<\/td><td>7:00 PM to 1:30 AM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>US standard time (early November to March)<\/td><td>9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST<\/td><td>8:00 PM to 2:30 AM<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>IST is 9.5 hours ahead of EDT and 10.5 hours ahead of EST.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you hold actual shares through an LRS broker, you trade in that window, plus whatever extended-hours sessions your broker offers. Outside it, and on weekends and US holidays, you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tokenized stock doesn&#8217;t. On Mudrex, <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/tokenized-stock-meta-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/tokenized-stock-meta-guide\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tokenized META trades around the clock,<\/a> including weekends and both Indian and US holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Meta Tokenized Stock Is Priced When Nasdaq Is Closed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the part most people skip, and it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>While Nasdaq is open,<\/strong> the token&#8217;s price tracks the real share closely, because traders can profit from any gap between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When Nasdaq is closed,<\/strong> there is no official share price to anchor to. The token&#8217;s price is set by the buyers and sellers of the token itself, reacting to whatever news comes out. It becomes the market&#8217;s best guess of where the stock will open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When Nasdaq reopens,<\/strong> the token and the share realign. If your off-hours guess was right, you were early. If it was wrong, the price corrects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-4-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89194\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-4-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-4-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-4-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-4.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take Meta&#8217;s Q2 2026 results. They came out on 29 July after the US close, and the earnings call started at 4:30 PM Eastern, or 2:00 AM in India. The share fell about 9.6% in after-hours trading. A token holder in India could act on that news through the night and the next morning, rather than waiting for the next regular session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When off-hours access matters most<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Situation<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>When it happens in India<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What tokenized spot lets you do<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quarterly earnings<\/td><td>Around 2:00 AM IST, after the US close<\/td><td>React overnight or the next morning<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weekend news<\/td><td>Saturday and Sunday<\/td><td>Adjust before Monday&#8217;s US open<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>US market holidays<\/td><td>Full days with Nasdaq shut<\/td><td>Keep trading while the share is frozen<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Indian daytime<\/td><td>9 AM to 6 PM IST<\/td><td>Trade during work breaks, not late at night<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many Indian investors, the last row is the real benefit. You can manage a Meta position at a sensible hour instead of staying up for the US session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What You Actually Hold: METAB<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The token on Mudrex is METAB, part of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bstocks.finance\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> bStocks<\/a> programme issued by BTECH Holdings Ltd. Each token is issued against a real share held by a regulated US broker-custodian, and the issuer publishes a daily Proof of Collateral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three points worth knowing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No legal ownership.<\/strong> You hold price exposure, not the share or voting rights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dividends are reinvested.<\/strong> When Meta paid its dividend in September 2026, Binance said it would reinvest the net amount into additional METAB units, after withholding tax and fees. On-chain, this shows up as a change to the token multiplier rather than a cash payout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trading continues through corporate actions.<\/strong> During that dividend process, issuers&nbsp;pause METAB deposits and withdrawals, but spot trading stays open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a deeper look at how this structure is backed and where the risks sit, our guide on<a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/is-palantir-tokenized-stock-safe\/\"> whether tokenized stocks like PLTRB are safe<\/a> applies to METAB too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Trade Meta Tokenized Stock on Mudrex<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"764\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-3.18.52\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89208\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-3.18.52\u202fPM.png 764w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-3.18.52\u202fPM-300x287.png 300w, https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-3.18.52\u202fPM-150x144.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sign up<\/strong> on the Mudrex app or website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complete KYC<\/strong> with your Aadhaar and PAN.

Check the last Nasdaq close first<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you trade at 11 AM on a Saturday, look at where the actual share closed on Friday. If the token is trading well above or below it, understand why before you join in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Expect wider gaps and use smaller orders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside US hours, fewer people are trading and there is no official price to anchor to. Prices can move further on less activity. Keep off-hours orders smaller than you would during the US session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Know when the news lands<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta reports results after the US close, which is around 2:00 AM IST during US summer. Product events such as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/blog\/meta-connect-2026-everything-we-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Connect 2026<\/a>, held on 23 September, also fall in Indian night-time. Plan for these moments rather than reacting half-asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Prepare for the Monday realignment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weekend moves are tested when Nasdaq opens on Monday evening, India time. If the share opens far from where the token traded on Sunday, the token follows the share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Count the tax on every trade<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each sale is a taxable event under India&#8217;s VDA rules: a flat 30% on gains plus cess, 1% TDS on transfers and no set-off of losses against other income. Frequent trading adds up quickly, so 24\/7 access works best when you trade with a reason, not just because you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> You buy \u20b920,000 of METAB and sell it for \u20b922,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Item<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Calculation<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Amount<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gain<\/td><td>\u20b922,000 minus \u20b920,000<\/td><td>\u20b92,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tax at 30%<\/td><td>30% of \u20b92,000<\/td><td>\u20b9600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cess at 4%<\/td><td>4% of \u20b9600<\/td><td>\u20b924<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total tax<\/td><td>\u20b9600 plus \u20b924<\/td><td>\u20b9624<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TDS on sale<\/td><td>1% of \u20b922,000<\/td><td>\u20b9220 (adjusted against the \u20b9624)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tokenized Spot vs Perps: Which One Are You Using?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mudrex also offers<a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/us-stock-perps-on-mudrex\/\"> US stock perpetual futures<\/a>, including METAUSDT. Both trade around the clock, but they work differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>METAB (spot)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>METAUSDT (perps)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What it is<\/td><td>A token backed 1:1 by a real share<\/td><td>A derivative contract tracking the price<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Direction<\/td><td>Profit when the price rises<\/td><td>Go long or short<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Leverage<\/td><td>None<\/td><td>Available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Main risk<\/td><td>Price falls<\/td><td>Price falls or rises against you, plus liquidation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Suited to<\/td><td>Building a position<\/td><td>Short-term trading<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re new, start with spot trading.

Actual shares through an LRS broker give you legal ownership, cash dividends and 12.5% long-term capital gains tax after 24 months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/meta-tokenised-stock-lrs-gift-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/meta-tokenised-stock-lrs-gift-city\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comparison of tokenized spot, LRS and GIFT City for Meta<\/a> sets out the trade-offs.

METAB on Mudrex trades around the clock, including weekends and holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does the METAB price differ from the Nasdaq price at night?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Nasdaq is closed, the token&#8217;s price is set by token buyers and sellers reacting to news. It realigns with the share once regular trading resumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What time does Meta stock trade in India?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nasdaq session runs from 7:00 PM to 1:30 AM IST during US daylight saving time, and 8:00 PM to 2:30 AM IST the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I get Meta&#8217;s dividend with METAB?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not as cash. At the issuer level, the net dividend is reinvested into the token through the multiplier. Check with Mudrex support how this shows up in your balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there TCS on buying Meta tokenized stock?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No LRS remittance is involved when you buy METAB in rupees, so LRS TCS does not apply. The 1% TDS on VDA transfers does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article is for information only and is not investment, tax or legal advice.
