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 (CRYPTO: AAVE)
• Compound (CRYPTO: COMP)
• Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK)
• Polygon (CRYPTO: MATIC)
• Maker (CRYPTO: MKR)
• Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB)

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 (CRYPTO: ETH) going to win? Is Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) going to win? Is it Helium or is it Avalanche (CRYPTO: AVAX)? I own them all.”
