Other Developments at IG

Meanwhile, IG US recently rebranded its brokerage and platform technology to tastyfx. This initiative seeks to provide a better experience for the company’s US-based customers and to closely integrate FX trading.

According to the company, the trading platform will remain largely the same despite the name change. This move aims to design a forex-focused brand specifically for US clients. It promises fast technology, zero commissions, and better customer service.

Additionally, IG Group opened its waiting list for options trading in the UK, highlighting a significant expansion for the UK-listed broker. The company has been planning to launch this service for over two years under its tastytrade brand.
