Bruce Markets Achieves Remarkable 66% Monthly Growth in Overnight U.S. Equities Trading

Bruce Markets Reports 66% Monthly Growth

In a significant announcement, Bruce Markets, which manages the overnight U.S. equities trading venue Bruce ATS, reported a remarkable growth trajectory since its launch in March 2025. As of March 2026, the platform’s average monthly traded notional reached an impressive $502 million per session, exhibiting a robust 66% growth rate on average per month dating back to October 2025. This surge reflects not only the escalating demand for overnight trading access but also the increasing participation from global investors.

After launching just over a year ago, Bruce ATS has been gaining traction in the overnight equities market, strengthening its presence in both traded notional and overall trading volume. The momentum seen in 2026 has allowed Bruce ATS to nearly double its market share in the overnight trading sector. As market conditions evolve and significant events increasingly take place outside regular trading hours, the overnight market is solidifying its status as an essential layer of contemporary equity market structure.

The figures tell a compelling story. The total volume of overnight trading has almost doubled year-over-year, propelled by a wave of global engagement, a constant flow of news, and renewed trading activity from key international markets, particularly in South Korea. Alongside this, Bruce ATS has also noted a significant rise in the average number of symbols traded on its platform, which escalated to an average of 1,837 symbols per session in March 2026. Notably, the platform crossed the threshold of 10 million shares traded in average volume per session, concluding March with a total of 4,451 unique symbols traded.
