The beta test for stock trading was opened to select users in May. Now, FTX.US users across the nation are able to trade stocks with no-fee brokerage accounts, and commission-free trading on the platform.
FTX has listed hundreds of stocks that will be immediately available for users to trade; These include Big Five Tech stocks Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL).
Options Trading on the Horizon
Completing its full rollout of stocks trading, FTX.US has hinted that the exchange plans on integrating options trading onto the platform, following the likes of Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD).
Brett Harrison made the announcement of exploring options trading last week, but did not reveal any specific timeline for the integration of options trading into the platform.
On the Flipside
- FTX’s proposal to acquire Voyager Digital appears to have broken down after the ailing crypto lender claimed that “no customer will be made whole” under the proposal.
