Webull Corporation has introduced a 24-hour stock trading feature for Malaysian customers, significantly enhancing their access to US financial markets. This initiative underscores Webull’s commitment to innovation and accessibility, catering to the growing interest of Malaysian investors in US equities and ETFs.
22 July 2024 – Webull Corporation (“Webull”), the esteemed US-based trading platform and innovative financial services firm, has announced the launch of its 24-hour stock trading feature for Malaysian customers. This pioneering service marks a significant milestone following Webull’s entry into the Malaysian market in May 2024, enhancing Malaysian investors’ access to the US financial markets.
Previously, Malaysian retail investors using Webull could only engage in US stock and ETF trading during regular and extended trading hours. The introduction of the 24-hour trading feature revolutionizes this access, offering a new US overnight trading session that extends beyond the traditional trading hours.
Beyond the 24-hour US market trading, Webull continues to offer a suite of attractive features to its investors, including:
- Zero commissions for the first 180 days and no platform fees
- The ability to own fractional shares starting at USD$5
- Free real-time market data for both Malaysian and US markets
- Advanced chart tools and technical indicators, with professional analyst ratings available within the app
This development is a direct response to the robust interest among Malaysian retail investors in the US markets, facilitating the trading of prominent securities and ETFs such as Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and SPY ETFs.
Kenneth Chan, CEO of Webull Malaysia, expressed his enthusiasm about the new feature: “We are thrilled to introduce 24-hour trading for the US markets to our retail investors in Malaysia. This feature bridges the time zone gap, enabling seamless trading during Malaysian hours. Since our launch, we have seen significant interest in both Bursa Malaysia and US market trading. By offering round-the-clock access, we lower the barriers to entry, reinforcing our commitment to making trading accessible and affordable for all retail investors.”
The 24-hour trading feature mitigates the risks associated with price movements outside normal US market hours, providing traders with price certainty and guaranteed next-day settlement, regardless of when the orders are executed. With this launch, Webull underscores its dedication to innovation, delivering a superior investing and trading experience to its users.
