TradeStation Group, which was acquired by Japan-based financial services Monex Group in 2011, has announced the launch of a crypto brokerage platform, TradeStation Crypto. Monex Group also acquired cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck last year.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, Nov. 19, highlighting the platform's credibility and the advantages it offers to crypto traders. TradeStation Crypto will act as an aggregator for multiple liquidity pools and organized them in a single data feed to help traders analyze the market.
With TradeStation’s experience in the field of the online trading industry, the new platform aims to attract investors who are looking for a reliable platform backed by a company that’s well-established in the trading sector. President of TradeStation Group John Bartleman said that the crypto industry has been growing at a rate that’s been impossible to ignore, hence the decision to join in on the financial market evolution.
A wealth of experience
Bartleman said that they aim to provide the crypto industry the same level of advantages that TradingStation Group has brought to traditional trading. The same sentiment has been echoed by James Putra, Director of Product Strategy at TradeStation Crypto.
“When we began to explore the crypto space, we saw a fragmented market that lacked efficient means of price discovery and order execution. Inspired by our TradeStation brand heritage, and what that brand has stood for, we focused on making liquidity, market access and fairer pricing our priorities,” Putra said.
Cryptocurrencies included in the launch
In its initial phase, TradeStation Crypto will cater to five of the most prominent cryptocurrency on the market, which are Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), and Ripple (XRP). Other cryptocurrencies will be added in the future.
People from approved countries and U.S. states will be able to take advantage of the consolidated data and trading protocols of the platform. Aside from this, TradeStation Crypto is also offering personalized support to its clients to better expedite the learning process needed to operate the exchange.
