The Japanese broker has handed its users a new artificial intelligence tool developed by BridgeWise.
The reported engagement demonstrates an appetite among local retail investors for automated, institutional-grade market insights.
Rakuten Securities customers generated over 3 million AI-powered investment reports within 24 hours of accessing new artificial intelligence analysis tools. It may signal a strong demand for automated stock insights among Japanese retail investors.
The surge in engagement followed the mid-July launch of BridgeWise's StockWise platform, which provides AI-generated analysis for more than 7,100 stocks directly through Rakuten Securities' existing trading platforms. The brokerage, which serves over 12 million customers, integrated the tools across its web interface, MARKETSPEED II desktop application, and iSPEED smartphone app.
The partnership represents Rakuten Securities' latest push to differentiate itself in Japan's competitive online brokerage market through technology adoption. The firm became the first major domestic securities company to offer this level of AI-generated stock intelligence for both Japanese and U.S. equities.
