Fintech Awards Winner TradeStation Expands Crypto Offerings: Here Are The New Additions

What: TradeStation, the award-winning and self-clearing online brokerage for trading stocks, bonds, commodities, futures, options, and cryptocurrencies, added new assets to its platform.

Why: This comes as the broker, who is regularly recognized at Benzinga’s Fintech Awards events for best-in-class software capabilities and impactful leadership, seeks to allow its clients better diversification across projects and their associated coins, below.

• Aave AAVE/USD
• Compound COMP/USD
• Chainlink LINK/USD
• Polygon MATIC/USD
• Maker MKR/USD
• Shiba Inu SHIB/USD

For each, TradeStation aggregates multiple pools of liquidity into a consolidated market data feed. This, along with an intelligent order-routing system, allows clients to have better visibility.

Thought: “You have to be diversified,” says famed investor Kevin O’Leary.

“The whole point is, you don’t know who is going to win. Is Ethereum ETH/USD going to win? Is Solana SOL/USD going to win? Is it Helium or is it Avalanche AVAX/USD? I own them all.”
