Daiwa Connect Securities Introduces Reservation Order Service for Hinakabu USA

Daiwa Connect Securities, a subsidiary of Daiwa Securities Group, has announced the launch of a reservation order service for its foreign stock trading platform, Hinakabu USA. Set to commence on June 20, 2025, this initiative aims to significantly enhance the trading experience for investors interested in U.S. stocks.

Up until now, transactions through Hinakabu USA were restricted to a limited time window, specifically from 9 AM to 5 PM Japan time, excluding U.S. holidays. However, with the introduction of this new service, investors will be able to place orders during the nighttime in Japan, aligned with market trends, and even beyond the regular trading hours of Hinakabu USA. This extended service allows for more flexibility, enabling customers to engage in trading at their convenience, thus improving overall accessibility.

The newly implemented reservation order service will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, aside from certain exclusions. This significant change opens up trading opportunities for users who previously could only execute orders during specific hours, thereby enhancing the customer experience.

Daiwa Connect Securities has meticulously curated a selection of 98 US stocks, available for trading in Japanese yen, enabling investors to purchase stocks in denominations of one share or more. This effort aligns with their goal to offer a comprehensive and user-friendly trading experience that resonates with both seasoned investors and newcomers alike.

In celebration of the new service launch, Daiwa Connect Securities will also host a promotional event, the “Stock Time Sale,” on June 25, 2025. This initiative is aimed at supporting customers in their journey to invest in U.S. stocks.
