It’s Official: TradeStation® Crypto Launch Announced

TradeStation Crypto unlocks access to cryptocurrency trading through a trusted and familiar brand undera new model that seeks to offer deeper market liquidity and innovative pricing.
Plantation, FL (November 19, 2019) – TradeStation Crypto, Inc., a subsidiary of TradeStation Group,Inc., today announced the launch of its crypto brokerage platform, TradeStation Crypto. TradeStation
Crypto believes it will be the first crypto offering which uses the true online brokerage model that selfdirected traders have come to expect for equities, options, futures and foreign currency markets. Insteadof being a crypto exchange, which is typically a fragmented, self-contained market universe, TradeStation
Crypto’s approach is to aggregate multiple pools of liquidity in a consolidated market datafeed combinedwith an intelligent order-routing system to give its customers better visibility and trade execution.
TradeStation Crypto brings with it the TradeStation Group organization’s mature market mindset andoperational history, together with the organization’s experience as a pioneer in the online trading
technology and brokerage industry for the active and serious trader markets. Speculative, creative andadvanced individual and professional equities, options and futures traders have been coming toTradeStation companies for years, and TradeStation Crypto should, the company thinks, be no different.
“Cryptocurrency trading has taken the spotlight over the past two years and it’s impossible to ignore,” said
John Bartleman, President of TradeStation Group. “Yet, many traders looking for a way into the crypto
markets remain hesitant, and are searching for a trusted, familiar brand to support them. That’s where wecome in. As the reliable brokerage brand for active and serious self-directed online traders since 2001,
we now seek to extend the same kind of benefits to TradeStation Crypto customers under one umbrella.”With TradeStation Crypto, traders in approved states and countries can trade Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash(BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Ripple (XRP). Other supported crypto coins are planned tobe added in the future.
“When we began to explore the crypto space, we saw a fragmented market that lacked efficient means ofprice discovery and order execution,” said James Putra, Director of Product Strategy at TradeStation
Crypto. “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.”
Additionally, institutions can take advantage of TradeStation Crypto’s professional grade services.
TradeStation Crypto’s dedicated institutional team will provide this clientele personalized support tocomplement the rich features and benefits of the TradeStation Crypto platform.
