The company added funds from over 30 global fund providers with liquidity from ICF BANK AG.
The move comes as ETFs gain popularity among European investors.
Spectrum
Markets, a pan-European trading venue, has expanded its offerings to include
1,757 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) from over 30 global fund providers. This
addition aims to provide retail investors with a broader range of trading
options, supported by exclusive liquidity from ICF BANK AG.
Spectrum Markets Launches
ETF Trading for European Retail Investors
Retail
investors can now trade ETFs from 8 am to 10 pm CET, extending beyond
traditional trading hours. The inclusion of ETFs aligns with the increasing
investor interest in these products due to their diversification, liquidity,
and competitive fees.
Spectrum
Markets' decision to offer ETFs is in response to the growing popularity of
these financial products. By leveraging its advanced infrastructure and
extended trading hours, Spectrum aims to facilitate intraday trading for retail
investors within a regulated environment.
“ETFs are
one of the most exciting product classes right now, and so Spectrum is pleased
we were able to instantly respond to meet this demand,” said Nicky Maan, the CEO
of Spectrum
Markets. “This marks a significant milestone for brokers and retail
investors throughout Europe, as they can now access a diverse range of ETFs
from some of the most recognized providers.
The new ETF
offerings on Spectrum Markets will be supported exclusively by ICF BANK AG, a
leading market maker in Germany. ICF BANK AG was selected based on its
execution quality, consistent presence in the order book, and pricing
standards.
"With
an increasing appetite for liquidity pools across Europe, we look forward to
continuing our partnership with Spectrum and expand our business beyond Germany
and enter into the wider European markets in the near future,” added Lars
Lautenschläger, Managing Director at ICF BANK AG.
European investors are increasingly choosing ETFs, as evidenced by the launch of the
latest funds for Bitcoin, the oldest cryptocurrency. The company's Spectrum
European Retail Investor Index (SERIX) for BTC rose to 109 points, indicating
bullish sentiment.

The new
offering include ETFs from the biggest fund providers in the world, including

Morgan, Legal & General, Pimco, State Street, UBS, Vanguard, and
WisdomTree.
Back in
January, the company reported record-breaking numbers for 2024. According to
the latest report, the total order book turnover increased by 9% to €3.62
billion last year.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
