TradeZero is a global platform that already allows commission-free stock and ETF trading, as well as the ability to trade equity and index options. “We are looking to provide the non US investor with the same access, tools and discounted commission structure that many US traders enjoy today,” said Daniel Pipitone, Director of TradeZero, Inc.

With this new venture TradeZero clients get access to commission-free dark pool digital currency trading, allowing them to make large purchases or sales without substantially moving the market price. There is currently a minimum opening balance of $10,000 or equivalent currency and it's meant to appeal to those who are serious about trading bitcoin or building a portfolio with cryptocurrency.
