Woodstock Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Brian Jaesun Yoon, https://woodstock.co), which operates "Woodstock," Japan's first US stock investment app that is completely commission-free (*1) and allows 24-hour trading of US stocks (excluding ineligible stocks and maintenance hours), is pleased to announce that its monthly transaction value significantly updated its all-time high for two consecutive months in March and April 2026. Our company has been dedicated to providing a highly convenient investment experience to make US stock investment more accessible to a wider audience. As a next-generation leading investment platform, we will continue to create user-centric experiential value and challenge ourselves to deepen our unparalleled services, redefining the way asset building is done in Japan by integrating cutting-edge technology with users' aspirations.
Achieved new record for monthly transaction value for two consecutive months!
Since its launch in 2023 as an app that allows easy trading of US stocks and ETFs on smartphones, our platform has continuously expanded its functions. Last year, it was recognized as an innovative product, particularly among young people, for offering an AI-powered real-time news service (*2) and, for the first time in the industry, enabling identity verification using a smartphone's My Number Card (*3).
Furthermore, in February this year, for the first time in Japan, all fees—trading commissions, exchange fees, balance fees, and withdrawal fees—were made completely free (*1), and 24-hour real-time trading of US stocks was realized (excluding ineligible stocks and maintenance hours), garnering support from an increasing number of people. As a result of these efforts, the monthly transaction value in March and April 2026 significantly updated the all-time high for two consecutive months. By championing the democratization of investment and drastically lowering entry barriers to US stock investment in Japan, the inflow of new investors and the expansion of transaction volume have accelerated.
Supports approximately 1,000 tradable stocks, with more continuously being added!
The number of US stocks handled on our platform, including ETFs, has expanded to nearly 1,000. A major feature of our company is the function within the app that directly accepts user requests for "additional desired stocks." By quickly grasping market trends and reflecting real, diverse voices from users, we promptly provide "currently demanded investment opportunities." We will continue to rapidly expand the number of tradable stocks to offer a wider range of choices that match individual investment decisions.
