Barchart and Plus500 Partner to Expand U.S. Futures Trading Access

Barchart, a provider of market data and technology for active traders and investors, today announced a strategic partnership with Plus500, a global multi-asset fintech group. The collaboration aims to streamline access to futures trading and education for U.S. retail investors, leveraging Barchart's digital footprint and engaged investor community.

As part of the partnership, Plus500 will gain prominent brand exposure across Barchart's platform, including key placements on high-traffic futures-related pages and content. This is intended to drive awareness of Plus500's trading platform and educational resources. Barchart's CEO, Mark Haraburda, stated, "Barchart.com was one of the first platforms to bring futures market data online in 1995, and since then, we've grown into a trusted destination for millions of investors around the world." He added, "Our partnership with Plus500 is a natural fit and reinforces our commitment to expanding access to futures markets by connecting our audience with intuitive trading solutions built for the modern investor. We are excited to launch this partnership with Plus500."

Plus500 operates in the futures market as a registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and a clearing member of CME, ICE, Eurex, and MGEX, providing trading access and technology to individual and professional investors. The company has also invested in brand recognition, including its sponsorship of the Chicago Bulls, which reflects its commitment to expanding its presence in the U.S. trading and financial services landscape.

Isaac Cahana, CEO of Plus500US, commented on the partnership's objectives: "This partnership supports our mission to empower retail investors and is a testament of our broader commitment to building a more inclusive and resilient trading ecosystem." He added, "By combining Barchart's deep reach within the retail trading community and Plus500's innovative, technology-driven trading solutions, we're empowering a new generation of investors with the tools, education, and access they need to participate confidently in the futures markets." The collaboration is viewed as an important milestone in both companies' ongoing efforts to enhance the futures trading experience for individual investors and traders.
