- Webull Corporation introduces 24-hour U.S. stock trading for Malaysian customers, expanding beyond regular and extended trading hours.
- The new feature includes zero commissions for 180 days, no platform fees, fractional shares from USD$5, and free real-time market data for Malaysian and U.S. markets.
KUALA LUMPUR (MarketsXplora) – Webull Corporation, a U.S.-based financial services firm, announced on Tuesday the launch of a 24-hour stock trading feature for its customers in Malaysia, marking a significant expansion of access to U.S. markets for Malaysian retail investors.
The move comes just two months after Webull’s entry into the Malaysian market in May 2024, underscoring the company’s rapid push to capture market share in Southeast Asia’s third-largest economy.
Previously, Malaysian investors using Webull’s platform were limited to trading U.S. stocks and ETFs during regular and extended trading hours. The new feature introduces a U.S. overnight trading session, allowing transactions to occur around the clock, bridging time zone differences between Malaysia and the United States.
“This 24-hour trading capability represents a major step forward in democratizing access to U.S. financial markets for Malaysian investors,” said a Webull spokesperson in a statement to MarketsXplora. “It aligns with our mission to make investing more accessible and flexible for our global user base.”

In addition to extended trading hours, Webull is maintaining several investor-friendly policies introduced during its Malaysian launch. These include zero commissions for the first 180 days, the absence of platform fees, and the ability to purchase fractional shares for as little as USD$5, lowering the entry barrier for retail investors.
The platform also offers free real-time market data for both Malaysian and U.S. markets, complemented by an extensive suite of 17+ chart tools and 58+ technical indicators.
This array of features aims to equip Malaysian investors with professional-grade tools for analyzing popular securities such as Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and various ETFs including the widely-traded SPY.
