Plus500 launches 24/5 CFD trading for stocks and ETFs

Plus500 announced on June 23, 2026 that it has launched 24/5 trading in contracts for difference (CFDs) on a selection of stocks and exchange-traded funds, including SpaceX. The service is available on the firm’s regulated, proprietary trading platform.

The offering runs continuously from Monday through Friday, enabling retail clients to open and close CFD positions outside standard market hours. Plus500 said the extended schedule is a response to a rise in retail trading activity outside traditional trading sessions and allows traders to react to earnings notices, central bank comments and other market events regardless of time zone.

The initial list of instruments includes SpaceX. Plus500 plans to add more stocks and ETFs in phases, with new listings determined by customer demand, liquidity and operational readiness. The phased rollout is designed to preserve execution quality, platform stability and the company’s existing risk controls.

CFDs let traders take positions on price movements without owning the underlying shares or ETFs. Plus500 said the expanded hours complement recent product developments, including its entry into US prediction markets, and form part of its multi-asset offering delivered through in-house trading technology.

Plus500 described operational safeguards for the extended-hours products, saying institutional-grade execution and risk management will apply and that liquidity and operational readiness will guide which instruments are made available at each stage.

David Zruia, chief executive officer at Plus500, commented: “Markets operate around the clock, and increasingly our customers expect the flexibility to do the same. The launch of 24/5 CFD trading on stocks and ETFs gives them the ability to act the moment an earnings release lands, a central bank speaks, or a market-moving event unfolds, regardless of the time or time zone.”
