In late July 2026, Dubai‑based multi‑asset broker STARTRADER introduced a broad suite of 85 new US stock CFDs. This included 42 contracts trading 24/5 and 43 contracts trading 24/7, covering major technology, energy, healthcare, finance, and industrial companies. The 24/7 range featured AI and semiconductor leaders such as NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, AMD, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, and Palantir, alongside firms like Tesla and AST SpaceMobile. The broker stated the product “gives every client equal access, wherever they are and at any hour,” aiming to remove trading‑hour constraints.

A week later, the broker expanded its offering with 31 US share and ETF CFDs focused on artificial‑intelligence infrastructure, including semiconductors, optical‑networking, and nuclear‑energy. These instruments, which became available on the platform in early August, included companies such as Arista Networks and NuScale Power, as well as ETFs tracking sectors like photonics and technology software. CEO Peter Karsten noted the expansion reflects growing client interest in AI infrastructure.

On August 24 and 25, STARTRADER continued its expansion by adding 30 new U.S. stock and ETF CFDs to its MT5 platform. This rollout targeted high-growth sectors including quantum computing, software infrastructure, space, defense, nuclear energy, AI, semiconductors, and fintech. Specific companies included in this expansion are IONQ, LUNR, and SERV. These additions are part of a broader 2026 product development strategy to add over 330 instruments. Throughout these expansions, the broker has maintained standard risk warnings regarding the inherent risks of CFD trading.
