German foreign exchange (forex) broker FXFlat continues to grow its offering and announced this week that it is planning on expanding its futures portfolio to include forex futures.

The announcement comes just over a month after the German broker launched trading on exchange-traded futures (ETFs) for its clients. This offering was launched as the company continues to complement its offering that currently includes FX, CFDs, and cryptocurrencies.

Commenting on the announcement Samed Yilmaz CFOO of FXFlat Wertpapierhandelsbank GmbH said: “It was clear to us that an exciting financial instrument such as futures would be of great interest to traders. 

“However, this huge request for futures on the futures exchanges Eurex and CME surprised us even – of course in a good way. We will expand our futures portfolio shortly in the area of ​​forex futures.”

Although the broker hasn’t given an exact date, last time the firm launched ETFs, it conducted a two-week beta test phase for selected clients. Whether this will happen for the FX futures is unclear.
