Investors will soon be able to trade SpaceX, or just about any other U.S.-listed company, directly on a U.S. exchange during the day in Tokyo.

“This will likely lower the barrier for Japanese retail investors to buy high-profile stocks, such as SpaceX and Magnificent Seven shares in a more casual manner,” said Keisuke Ito, a professor at Waseda Business School, using the nickname for seven major U.S. tech companies.
