Plus500 (LSE:PLUS), the global multi-asset fintech group, launched 24/5 contracts for difference (CFD) trading on selected stocks and ETFs on Monday, allowing customers to trade continuously across time zones and outside traditional market hours.
SpaceX is among the initial instruments available under the new offering, with the company citing strong retail investor interest in after-hours activity triggered by earnings releases, central bank decisions, and other market-moving events.
Plus500 said it will expand the 24/5 roster over time, adding stocks and ETFs based on customer demand and liquidity conditions, using a phased approach intended to preserve execution quality and risk controls.
The launch follows the company's recent entry into US prediction markets, which chief executive David Zruia framed alongside this move as evidence of continued product innovation.
"The launch of 24/5 CFD trading on stocks and ETFs is our direct response, giving them the ability to act the moment an earnings release lands, a central bank speaks, or a market-moving event unfolds, regardless of the time or time zone," Zruia said.
