Chicago, September 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bruce Markets LLC, the operator of Bruce ATS™ and a SEC-registered broker-dealer, today announced a landmark agreement to extend U.S. stock trading to the entire weekend, following regulatory review. The initiative aims to provide global investors with continuous, 24/7, seven-day-a-week stock trading.
To support this expansion, Bruce Markets will leverage new strategic investments from major shareholders PEAK6 Investments and Robinhood Markets. Apex Fintech Solutions, Fidelity Investments, Nasdaq Ventures, NH Investment & Securities, tastytrade, and Webull remain investors.
Bruce Markets will expand its use of Nasdaq's trading technology, while clearing, custody, and custodial services will be provided by Apex Clearing Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex Fintech Solutions, Inc.
This protocol marks a significant milestone in the structure of the U.S. stock market. Bruce Markets stated that by extending weekend trading hours to achieve 24/7 market access, Bruce Markets and its partners will create the first truly round-the-clock U.S. stock trading ecosystem for global investors. Bruce Markets expects the new weekend trading hours to be launched in the coming months.
Bruce Markets CEO Jason Wallach said, “We are transforming how customers access the U.S. stock market and ultimately enabling true 24/7 trading. Market-moving news won’t wait until Monday’s open, and investors won’t have to wait much longer. We are working with our partners to break free from the constraints of traditional market structures and redefine global trading.”
Jenny Just, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of PEAK6 Investments, said: “The world doesn’t stop on weekends, and neither do markets today. This marks the end of five-day trading markets. Markets will now operate continuously, in sync with people’s rhythms—and Bruce Markets will lead this transformation.”
Robinhood’s Chief Brokerage Officer, Steve Quirk, said: “Market-moving news can emerge at any time, including weekends. With 24/7 trading, Robinhood customers will soon be able to trade stocks seven days a week, around the clock, enabling them to manage their portfolios in real time and trade on their own schedule.”
Magnus Haglind, Head of Capital Markets Technology at Nasdaq, said: “Continuously operating markets require infrastructure that is resilient, flexible, and scalable. Our trading technology provides Bruce Markets with a proven foundation to deliver robust and transparent market access throughout the weekend.”
William Capuzzi, CEO of Apex Fintech Solutions, said: “Apex is continuously advancing the modernization of market infrastructure, and weekend trading is a natural next step in this effort. We are proud to support Bruce Markets, PEAK6, and Robinhood in achieving this goal.”
