🔥 IG Group – a traditional investment platform from London – has officially launched spot trading and crypto custody services for individual investors, marking a turning point as the first listed company in the UK to implement this feature.
Previously only offering derivative products, IG now allows direct trading of over 30 types of cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, XRP, BONK…). The service is implemented in collaboration with Uphold, providing a seamless investment experience on the same platform.
This move clearly reflects the trend of TradFi integrating with crypto, as the UK accelerates its regulatory framework to become the leading digital financial center in Europe.
