Transaction Network Services (TNS) has expanded its 24x5 US equities trading capabilities by adding market data connectivity to Bruce ATS, a new overnight trading venue operated by Bruce Markets LLC. This move strengthens TNS’s commitment to providing global access to emerging exchange venues.

Bruce ATS joins TNS’s lineup, including Blue Ocean ATS (8 p.m. to 4 a.m. EDT).
TNS connects 5,000+ financial endpoints across a 125-point global network.
Aligns with Bruce ATS’s Nasdaq partnership for seamless data distribution.
TNS announced on July 10, 2025, the integration of market data connectivity to Bruce ATS, enabling global clients to access US equities during extended trading hours. “By adding Bruce ATS to our market data portfolio, we’re helping firms in overseas markets trade US equities during non-traditional trading hours,” said Jeff Mezger, Vice President of Product Management at TNS. With increasing demand from Asia and other regions, TNS’s low-latency infrastructure and 24x7x365 support ensure reliable, real-time data delivery, particularly for Asian market hours.
Bruce ATS, powered by Nasdaq’s market technology, operates as an Alternative Trading System (ATS) under Bruce Markets LLC, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA. “Expanding our market data reach through TNS is a natural step in scaling Bruce ATS to meet growing global demand,” said Jason Wallach, CEO of Bruce ATS. TNS’s extensive broker-dealer relationships and 5,000+ financial community endpoints position it to connect firms to Bruce ATS’s overnight trading data, available from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET, Sunday through Friday.
TNS’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) portfolio, including its vendor-agnostic Market Data Services, supports over 130 exchanges across 25 countries. The addition of Bruce ATS complements existing 24x5 venues like Blue Ocean ATS and MOON ATS, reinforcing TNS’s leadership in overnight trading. “TNS is uniquely positioned to help meet this growing market demand,” Mezger noted, citing its global 125-point-of-presence footprint and Network Operations Centers in the US, UK, Australia, and Malaysia. This infrastructure ensures seamless, high-capacity data delivery, critical for round-the-clock trading.
The partnership aligns with a broader trend toward 24-hour trading, driven by global demand for US equities. Bruce ATS’s recent data partnership with Nasdaq, announced April 2025, enables distribution of real-time feeds like Bruce Last Sale and Depth of Book, reducing implementation barriers for brokers. TNS’s connectivity enhances this by providing low-latency access, helping firms act on opportunities outside traditional US exchange hours (9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT). Posts on X, such as @ExchangeNews, highlight the move as a step toward “continuous trading innovation.”
TNS’s integration of Bruce ATS market data strengthens its 24x5 trading support, enabling global firms to access US equities during non-traditional hours. With a secure, low-latency network and partnerships like Nasdaq, TNS and Bruce ATS are well-positioned to meet rising demand for extended-hours trading, driving efficiency and opportunity for financial market participants worldwide.
