South Korean access to U.S. equity markets

Overview

The accessibility of U.S. equity markets for South Korean investors is expanding through new technological integrations and service expansions.

Initially, Devexperts introduced a turnkey software solution designed to allow South Korean brokers to offer U.S. equity market access via the DXtrade platform. This integration aims to support the high volume of monthly U.S. stock investments made by South Korean retail investors.

Following this, Bruce Markets announced plans to expand U.S. equities trading to include weekend sessions, pending regulatory review, to move toward a 24/7 trading ecosystem. In South Korea, firms such as Toss Securities and Meritz Securities have integrated with the Bruce ATS market data feed for overnight U.S. equities. This development is intended to mitigate the risk of ‘blind trading’ for Korean investors during market data outages by providing alternative liquidity pathways.
