Partner Spotlight: Crypto.com

Overnight trading and digital-first investing are reshaping how market access is delivered. For global investors, the old boundaries around when and how they can participate in U.S. equities are starting to give way to something more flexible, immediate and aligned with the rhythms of a shrinking world. At the same time, platforms born in digital assets are helping raise expectations for what a modern trading experience should look like: seamless, always accessible and increasingly consolidated in one place.

Crypto.com is one of the firms helping lead that evolution. Through its overnight stock trading feature, customers can enter orders to trade via a US broker-dealer. Supported by Bruce ATS as a routing destination and a source of overnight market data, Crypto.com is giving users broader access to U.S. equities outside of traditional market hours while advancing a more unified, digital-first approach to investing.

Bruce Markets sat down with Crypto.com to discuss the growing importance of overnight trading, the convergence of equities and digital assets and what investors now expect from modern trading platforms. Below are the highlights from the conversation.

Crypto.com is best known as a digital asset platform. What role does equities trading – and specifically 24/5 overnight trading – play in your broader product and platform strategy?

Our goal is to create one seamless digital destination for all financial services where users invest, earn and maximize rewards. By integrating 24/5 U.S. stock trading into our app, we are bridging the gap between traditional and modern investing and aggressively expanding our offerings to give customers a comprehensive, digital-first financial toolkit in a single ecosystem.

Why is overnight access to U.S. equities becoming more important for today’s global investment community?

Today’s investors require markets that are designed around real life, not outdated market schedules. Continuous 24/5 access is essential because it empowers users to react instantly to breaking news and global economic movements – ensuring they stay in control of their trades and can act whenever opportunity strikes, regardless of their time zone.

What made Bruce Markets an attractive partner for Crypto.com?

Enabling our 24/5 stock trading feature required finding a partner that could offer deep liquidity, large asset coverage and, importantly, the ability to innovate and work alongside us to build new capabilities in the future, like fractional trading and 24/7 coverage. Just as important, we needed the depth of market visibility to support a high-quality overnight trading experience.

Bruce Markets provides a high-performance overnight trading venue and Level 2 market data, making them an ideal partner for Crypto.com. In addition, Bruce combines proven market technology with deep trading and operational expertise, giving us confidence not just in the platform itself, but in the team behind it and their ability to help us scale thoughtfully over time.

Equities and digital assets appear to be converging from a market structure perspective. In equities, the momentum is toward longer trading hours, broader retail access and more flexible participation. In digital assets, the momentum is toward deeper institutional engagement, stronger infrastructure and more mature financial use cases. What do you make of this evolution?

We anticipate a continued convergence between traditional finance and crypto on the road ahead, rather than one replacing the other. As equities move toward longer trading hours and digital assets see deeper institutional engagement, we foresee a future where all asset classes are tokenized on blockchains, which is why we are making our own strides to responsibly integrate traditional financial tools with the 24/7 capabilities of digital finance.

How have customer expectations changed around when and how they want to access financial markets?

Crypto.com users are used to crypto markets that are 24/7 and instant. Consumers and traders want to engage in a digital-first trading environment that mirrors the always-on nature of the modern digital economy. They no longer want their financial opportunities to be defined by the traditional opening and closing bell. Instead, they want flexibility and control to access markets and execute trades no matter the time of day.

Where does user education still matter most when you expand access and flexibility in trading?

Ensuring equitable access to financial opportunities requires providing reliable tools, information and resources people need to take confident control of their financial lives. At Crypto.com, we offer a range of resources to our users through our Help Center and the Crypto.com University, our online and in-app hub intended to provide all users, from beginners to advanced, with education and resources to guide them through their journey.
