FTX.US Opens Stock Trading To All Users Nationwide

FTX.US, the U.S. branch of Sam Bankman-Fried-owned FTX, has announced that users across all U.S. states can now trade stock options on the platform after beta testing came to a close. 

All U.S. Users Can Now Trade Stocks on FTX

On Wednesday, July 27th, Brett Harrison, the president of FTX.US, announced the nationwide rollout of FTX Stocks to all of its users. He tweeted:

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 (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Apple Inc (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.

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.
