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
BNP Paribas, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, HSBC, iShares, JP
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.
