New York, NY / Jakarta, Indonesia – January 21, 2026 – PT Valbury Asia Futures (“Valbury”), a leading Indonesian brokerage company with 30 years of experience in forex and commodity trading, today announced the launch of US stock trading. This launch is powered by Alpaca, a global leader in brokerage infrastructure API providing access to options, stocks, ETFs, and fixed income.
Historically, Indonesian retail investors have faced limited access to global investing due to high fees, complex regulations, and other barriers.1 However, with the number of retail investors reaching 17 million in 2025,2 a significant rise in financial literacy and market participation is evident. Valbury is capitalizing on this momentum by making US equities more accessible to a broader audience.
This offering allows Valbury’s clients to trade shares of major US companies for as little as $1 USD while staying compliant with Indonesian regulatory requirements. This significantly lowers the barrier to entry for local investors, enabling them to diversify their portfolios in the world’s largest capital market.
“The US stock market is highly attractive to Indonesian investors, yet they have often needed multiple accounts across a variety of platforms to access both domestic and international assets,” said Caroline Haryono, CMO of PT Valbury Asia Futures. “With our launch, Valbury clients can consolidate all of their assets on a single platform, eliminating fragmentation, enhancing the customer experience, and making global investing accessible to more than just the wealthy.”
Valbury uses Alpaca’s Broker API to power its US stock trading service. This includes utilizing Alpaca’s OmniSub technology✝, a sub-accounting ledger model designed to streamline back office operations. OmniSub helps Valbury maintain compliance with Indonesian regulations while simplifying complex bookkeeping, including position management, reconciliation, corporate actions, and trade matching.
“We are excited to support Valbury as it brings global investing opportunities to investors in Indonesia,” said Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca. “With our Broker API and OmniSub technology, we enable brokers to deliver increased access to the world’s largest capital markets at a faster pace.”
