STARTRADER launches 31 new US share and ETF CFDs focused on AI infrastructure

STARTRADER announced the launch of 31 new US Share CFDs and ETF CFDs, becoming available on its trading platform on August 3 and on the STARTRADER app on August 5. The instruments give clients exposure to sectors supporting artificial‑intelligence infrastructure, including semiconductors, optical networking and nuclear energy.

The semiconductor cohort lists companies such as ON Semiconductor, Wolfspeed, Astera Labs, Rigetti Computing, Sandisk, FormFactor, Navitas Semiconductor, Semtech, Vishay Intertechnology and AXT. AI‑chip and GPU‑cloud providers include Cerebras Systems, CoreWeave and Vertiv Holdings, while optical‑networking firms Arista Networks, Ciena, Applied Optoelectronics and Fabrinet are also covered. Nuclear‑energy exposure is provided through Centrus Energy and NuScale Power. Seven ETFs span semiconductors (SMH, SOXX, SOXL), memory (DRAM), photonics (FOTO), technology software (IGV) and Taiwan equity (EWT).

CEO Peter Karsten said the expansion reflects growing client interest in AI infrastructure and reinforces STARTRADER’s commitment to broaden its CFD offering. The launch is part of the broker’s ongoing effort to increase market access, with a standard risk warning that trading CFDs involves significant risk of loss.
