UK financial giant IG Group, a leading FTSE 250 trading platform, is launching cryptocurrency trading for retail investors—becoming the first UK-listed company to offer such services. Customers can buy, sell, and hold major digital currencies, including bitcoin, ethereum, and select stablecoins, all with a flat 1.49% transaction fee. In partnership with Uphold, IG’s platform allows seamless movement between crypto holdings and traditional investment accounts. Uphold handles execution and pricing, enabling a streamlined user experience. As traditional banks like Chase UK restrict access to crypto exchanges, IG’s regulated entry point offers a secure alternative, aligning retail trading with upcoming UK compliance measures.
