PLANTATION, Fla., March 24, 2022  /PRNewswire/ -- TradeStation, an award-winning*, self-clearing online brokerage, announced today that residents of Puerto Rico are now eligible to apply for a TradeStation Crypto, Inc. account to trade cryptocurrencies.

TradeStation Securities, Inc. is also licensed and permitted to do business in Puerto Rico, giving TradeStation Securities customers access to trade stocks, ETFs, options, and futures.

"We are excited to be expanding into Puerto Rico as adoption of digital assets continues to grow. We believe that Puerto Rico has a strong reputation supporting crypto, and we're looking forward to being part of the momentum surrounding their crypto community," said James Putra, Vice President, Product Strategy at TradeStation Crypto. "We feel TradeStation offers clients the best of both worlds, a trusted brand that's been serving traders for over 30-years combined with innovative products and technology to access the crypto market."

TradeStation Crypto aggregates multiple pools of liquidity in a consolidated market data feed combined with an intelligent order-routing system designed to give its customers better visibility and trade execution, which is a differentiated model from some crypto exchanges.
