Plus500 (LON: PLUS) has become a member of ICE Clear Europe, enabling the company to offer “regulated access” to European futures markets, including energy and carbon derivatives such as power, gas and carbon futures and options, to its global customer base.
Offering Access to European Markets
The new membership, announced today (Tuesday), comes as Plus500 expands its non-over-the-counter (OTC) offerings. The company highlighted that this move would allow it to grow its futures business strategically across new territories and customers, further scaling its clearing services.
David Zruia, the CEO of Plus500
“As we continue to evolve into a provider of global market infrastructure, clearing memberships remain a key pillar of Plus500's growth strategy for our global futures business, and this new membership will further expand our clearing capabilities across multiple asset classes in European markets,” said David Zruia, Plus500’s CEO.
The company has long been positioned as a contracts for differences (CFDs) broker in the retail trading market.
Its ambitions in non-OTC markets became clear when it acquired a US-regulated broker to enter the country’s futures trading market. That bet paid off, with 13 per cent of Plus500’s total revenue in the first half of 2025 coming from the US.
The London-listed broker also aims to enter India, another major futures and options trading market. Earlier this year, it agreed to acquire Mehta Equities, a regulated Indian wealth manager and broker, for $20 million.
Meanwhile, the broker’s membership with ICE Clear Europe is not its first. It had previously obtained ICE Clear US membership.
“[The latest membership] enhances our already established position in the futures market and we are rapidly gaining market share as customers – both institutional and retail – recognise the benefits of Plus500's technology-enabled, omni-channel offering, underpinned by our holistic clearing capabilities,” Zruia added.
Beyond non-OTC markets, Plus500 also plans aggressive expansion across geographies. It recently obtained a Colombian licence and is seeking authorisation in Chile, underscoring its ambitions in the Latin American region. It has also secured licences in Canada and the UAE.
