Webull Breaks Barriers 24-Hour US Stock Trading Goes Live in Asia Pacific

Story Highlights
- Webull launches 24-hour trading for US stocks and ETFs in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.
- Blue Ocean tech powers the extended hours, mimicking the US market experience and offering a next-day settlement.
- Webull expands in Southeast Asia with launches in Malaysia and Thailand, providing local and US investment options.
Webull Corporation is shaking things up for investors in Asia Pacific (APAC) with the launch of 24-hour trading for US equities and ETFs. This innovative feature, powered by Blue Ocean, allows investors in Australia, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and Singapore to trade popular stocks and ETFs like Tesla, Nvidia, and SPY even outside of regular US market hours.
Blue Ocean Paves the Way
Blue Ocean Technologies, the force behind this extended trading window, has been steadily gaining traction. Several major players – GTN, DriveWealth, Robinhood, Interactive Brokers, Futu, and FlexTrade – have already adopted Blue Ocean’s 24-hour trading capabilities. Their system, Blue Ocean Alternative Trading System (BOATS), replicates the familiar US daytime trading experience, offering electronic access, live data, and standard regulatory processes.
Confidence for International Investors
Webull’s new feature introduces a brand new session – US overnight trading – allowing investors to trade beyond regular and extended US market hours. This removes limitations caused by time zone differences and offers peace of mind with price certainty and guaranteed next-day settlement, regardless of trade execution time.
“We’re seeing a strong and growing community of international investors, particularly from the APAC region, actively participating in the US market,” said Anthony Denier, Group President of Webull Corporation. “The 24-hour trading feature is part of our ongoing effort to bridge those gaps with a growing suite of tools and educational resources tailored for international investors.”
This launch coincides with Webull’s recent expansion in Southeast Asia. Investors in Malaysia can now trade Bursa Securities and Derivatives alongside US stocks and ETFs through its Malaysia app. The platform provides real-time quotes, market information, and Shariah compliance indicators to facilitate informed decisions.
Following their entry into Malaysia, Webull became the first US retail broker to launch services in Thailand last week. With a presence in Singapore, Australia, Japan, and now Malaysia and Thailand, Webull is rapidly solidifying its position as a key player in the APAC investment landscape.
