Webull Taps GTN to Offer Fixed Income Instruments to APAC Customers

The Singaporean unit of Webull has partnered with GTN to provide fixed-income investment services to its users in the Asia-Pacific region. Announced yesterday (Tuesday), the trading platform’s APAC users can now access GTN’s fractional fixed-income offering.

“This collaboration makes sense for us,” said Jonathan Man, CEO of Webull Singapore. “Webull Singapore offers a best-in-class platform to our customers, and by adding another asset class—fixed income, especially US Treasuries—this allows Webull to better meet their investment needs and preferences.”

Brokers’ demand for fixed-income instruments is also growing. Last year, Revolut partnered with GTN to offer such instruments to its clients in the European Economic Area. At the same time, the British fintech firm also teamed up with CMC Connect, the institutional unit of CMC Markets, to offer contracts for differences (CFDs).

In 2025, demand for US Treasuries has become uncertain, with yields rising as investors react to inflation, tariff tensions, and fiscal concerns. Foreign buyers such as China and Japan are pulling back, while domestic demand is not keeping pace. This change has led to increased borrowing costs and higher market volatility.

🚨Who owns the US Treasury market?

Foreigners hold 33% of Treasury bonds with Japan and China being the largest holders.

China owns ~$760 billion of US government bonds.

The country likely holds another $500 billion (difficult to estimate) through EU countries such as Belgium. pic.twitter.com/eCISj4wfoH

Easy Integration for Brokers

GTN provides a single API framework for market data access, trading, and account management, enabling brokers to give their clients access to complex fixed-income markets.

“Our technology is designed to make investing in key assets like US Treasuries as seamless and efficient as trading equities,” said Ankit Shah, Global Head of Fintech at GTN. “With fractionalisation, we are removing significant barriers and allowing more individuals to build stronger and more balanced portfolios in today’s volatile market.”

Meanwhile, GTN is also strengthening its leadership across regions. Recently, the company appointed Sham Treon as Chief Risk Officer for the Middle East, only months after hiring Christopher Gregory as CEO of its European operations.

Financemagnates.com earlier reported that GTN secured authorisation from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
