AvaTrade Rolls Out New Products

AvaTrade has gone live with new indices that track baskets of stocks in particular industries, from airlines and green energy firms to vaccine giants. The latest suite of products means clients can speculate on industry trends without taking on the risks and research burden of investing in a single company.

The broker has also made decentralised cryptos Chainlink and Uniswap available on its trading platforms. Both altcoins are third-wave decentralised finance (DeFi) cryptos and expand the use of blockchain beyond value transfer to more sophisticated financial use cases based on smart contracts in the blockchain network.

AvaTrade’s CEO, Dáire Ferguson, had this to say of the new changes “We are delighted to expand our client offering with the addition of some important new products. DeFi is really starting to take off in the crypto space and we are delighted to be able to offer our clients the chance to trade these new instruments. In addition, a scale-back in crypto spreads now means AvaTrade’s offering is among the most competitive on the market, bringing our clients better value when trading.”
