Night falls. Markets sleep. But Bruce Markets just flipped the lights on, and Wall Street’s starting to realize that money doesn’t punch a clock.
While most ATSs are either clunky hand-me-downs or built for bankers who haven’t updated their iPhones since 2017, Bruce ATS™ is a full-blown, enterprise-grade beast, spinning trades from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. ET, Sunday through Thursday. In other words, while you’re binge-watching “Succession” reruns, Bruce is giving global institutions a clean shot at U.S. Reg NMS securities. Real-time liquidity. Institutional execution. No bouncers, no velvet ropes.
And now? They’ve locked in another strategic investment round, backed by Apex Fintech Solutions, Fidelity Investments, Nasdaq Ventures, NH Investment & Securities, PEAK6 Investments, Robinhood, tastytrade, and Webull. Same power roster from their June 2024 round, doubling down like they just saw the turn and know how the river hits.
Big congrats to co-founders Jenny Just and Matt Hulsizer, the fintech veterans who turned a dinner table gripe about the trash fire that is after-hours trading into a $100M+ opportunity built on regulatory clarity, technical precision, and zero tolerance for weak infrastructure.
And massive respect to CEO Jason Wallach, whose resume reads like a masterclass in capital markets, CODA Markets, Apex Clearing, Series 7, 24, 55, 63, Connecticut College. A guy who’s run the pipes, cleared the trades, and seen what breaks under pressure. Now he’s running the show at Bruce Markets, and the ATS game just got a serious upgrade.
Bruce isn’t just riding Nasdaq’s tech rails, they’re fused into them. Seamless integration. SEC and FINRA blessed. FIX 4.2-ready. And for the data nerds: yes, they’re piping live order books and real-time feeds all night long. Built for scale. Engineered for speed. Designed for pros who want to trade while New York sleeps and Seoul starts sipping coffee.
This isn’t a side hustle in a hoodie. It’s the first U.S. overnight ATS backed by Nasdaq infrastructure and plugged into Apex’s clearing ecosystem. And with Asia and Europe waking up while the U.S. dreams in grayscale, Bruce is filling the gap, serving those who need real access, not just “access eventually.”
Next up? Expanded order types. Algorithmic trading. Cross-asset coverage. More boots on the ground across compliance, engineering, and client support to keep this engine running clean at 2 a.m. and scaling to 24/7.
So while the industry yawns through the “extended hours” gimmick, Bruce Markets is building an overnight juggernaut. Quietly. Precisely. Without asking for applause. Because when you’re trading on Bruce, the market doesn’t close. It just shifts timezone.
