Plus500 has announced the launch of 24/5 CFD trading on selected stocks and ETFs, enabling customers to trade around the clock, five days a week.
The firm writes that the launch responds to a structural shift reshaping the industry, with extended-hours trading now accounting for a significant and growing share of global retail activity. 24/5 CFD trading also reflects the Group’s accelerating pace of product innovation, delivered through Plus500’s proprietary, best-in-class trading platform across its expanding multi-asset offering, including its US prediction markets business.
The launch includes 24/5 CFD trading on SpaceX, one of the world’s most closely followed and talked-about companies. SpaceX joins a growing suite of instruments available through Plus500’s regulated, proprietary platform, putting customers at the forefront of a rapidly growing segment of global retail investors already trading outside traditional hours, across time zones, ahead of market opens, and in direct response to the events shaping global markets.
Plus500 will continue to expand its 24/5 offering, adding more stocks and ETFs over time based on customer demand, liquidity conditions, and operational considerations. This phased approach is designed to maintain a stable and secure trading environment, consistent with Plus500’s commitment to institutional-grade execution and risk management across all of its products.
David Zruia, Chief Executive Officer of Plus500, says: “Today’s markets operate around the clock, and increasingly our customers expect the flexibility to do the same. The launch of 24/5 CFD trading on stocks and ETFs is our direct response, giving them the ability to act the moment an earnings release lands, a central bank speaks, or a market-moving event unfolds, regardless of the time or time zone. Alongside our recent entry into US prediction markets, this is another demonstration of Plus500’s commitment to continuous innovation and our determination to put our customers at the centre of everything we do.”
