PT Valbury Asia Futures Launches US Stock Trading with Alpaca, Increasing Access for Investors

PT Valbury Asia Futures, a prominent Indonesian brokerage with three decades of experience in forex and commodity trading, has launched a new US stock trading service in partnership with Alpaca, a leader in brokerage infrastructure API. This initiative aims to make US equities accessible to Indonesian investors, who have historically faced challenges such as high fees and complex regulations in global investing. By leveraging Alpaca's Broker API and OmniSub technology, Valbury allows clients to trade US stocks with minimal investment, thereby lowering the barriers to entry and enabling portfolio diversification. This move comes in response to a surge in financial literacy and a growing number of retail investors in Indonesia, reaching 17 million in 2025, and promises to consolidate various asset types on a single platform for a streamlined customer experience.
