Taking Business Global

In January last year, TradeZero America, a subsidiary business based in New York, witnessed a 500% increase in trading volume on its platform in 2020. With investors opening and maintaining large accounts, the firm is working to continue providing its customers with consistent and reliable services.

In October last year, TradeZero entered into a definitive agreement for a merger with the blank check company, Dune Acquisition Corporation. The move is set to enable the trading platform to become a publicly listed company.

Last month, TradeZero appointed Ila Jehl as the CEO of its new clearing business as part of its efforts to enable the firm to grow its business. The company aims to offer efficient services through its planned securities clearing business. The appointment came two months after the firm signed an agreement with Dune Acquisition Corporation to bring this next-generation trading platform to the public markets.
