Online trading brokerage giant Interactive Brokers has
integrated Cboe Europe Derivatives (CEDX) into its trading platform. This new
addition enables clients to trade European stock options, equity index options,
and equity index futures, a move the company said enhances users’ ability to
manage and diversify their portfolios.
According to the press release, CEDX will allow traders to trade a wide range of European equity derivatives alongside other
global financial instruments, including stocks, currencies, and bonds, from a
single platform. This addition enhances Interactive Brokers’ current European
equity derivatives offerings, which are available through Eurex and Euronext.
Speaking about this integration, Milan Galik, the
CEO of Interactive Brokers, said: “The introduction of Cboe
Europe Derivatives underscores our commitment to providing clients with an
extensive range of products to enhance their trading strategies at low cost. As
investors increasingly use derivatives to diversify and fine-tune market
exposure, CEDX broadens the investment options available for our clients.”
Clients now have more ways to manage their European
investments with access to over 300 stock options from leading European
companies across 14 countries. They can also trade futures and options
contracts based on well-known benchmarks such as the Cboe Eurozone 50, Cboe
Germany 40, and Cboe UK 100.
To encourage adoption, CEDX will waive exchange ,
market data, and connectivity fees until the end of 2024. This initiative
lowers the barrier to entry for investors looking to explore European
derivatives markets, making it a cost-effective opportunity to diversify their
trading strategies.
Catering to Institutional Investors
Last month, Interactive Brokers launched a new product to allow institutional and retail traders to execute short-term trading strategies and manage exposure to the French stock market. Dubbed Daily Options on the CAC 40 Index, this product aims to equip traders with tools to navigate global markets.
According to Interactive Brokers, the introduction of daily options seeks to meet the increasing demand among investors for options with daily expirations among investors. This demand is reportedly caused by the need to engage in short-term trading strategies with potentially lower costs and flexibility.
Besides that, Interactive Brokers now offers cryptocurrency trading for individuals and institutional investors under its UK entity. The
digital asset trading platform added Bitcoin,
Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Although offered in partnership with a
third-party crypto exchange, Interactive Brokers mentioned that users can trade
crypto along with instruments of other asset classes from the same brokerage
account.
