Meritz Securities Integrates with Bruce Markets' Data Feed to Enhance U.S. Equity Market Visibility for Korean Traders
Meritz Securities, a major South Korean investment bank and broker-dealer, has connected to the market data feed of Bruce ATS, an overnight U.S. equities trading venue operated by Bruce Markets. This integration provides Meritz with real-time visibility into quote and trade activity during the 8:00 p.m.-4:00 a.m. ET overnight session, improving access for Korean investors who are active in this time frame. The move aligns with growing demand among South Korean traders to avoid 'blind trading'—a situation where limited data leads to poor decision-making—and reinforces the importance of multi-venue competition following regulatory changes that resumed daytime U.S. stock access after a 15-month suspension. Bruce Markets reported significant growth in overnight notional activity, nearly doubling between November 2025 and March 2026. Bruce ATS saw substantial gains during Q2 2026 with executed volume rising by 144% to 1.16 billion shares and executed notional value increasing by 105% to $49.03 billion, reflecting increased market confidence in the venue's liquidity and transparency.
