Plus500 Lists CME Single-Stock Futures; Non-OTC Tops $100M

Plus500 has begun offering CME Group-listed single-stock futures, giving clients exchange-traded exposure to major US companies as the broker continues to broaden beyond its core CFD business. The contracts are available in standard and Micro sizes across a growing list of US-listed names, with margin-based long and short access instead of paying the full value of the underlying shares.

The products are standardized futures traded on a regulated exchange, in contrast to Plus500's over-the-counter CFDs, where the broker is the direct counterparty. They are cash-settled and trade for up to 23 hours a day, allowing traders to react to earnings and corporate announcements released outside regular US market hours. CME Group currently lists single-stock futures on more than 50 US companies in two contract sizes, offering leveraged exposure without the stock-borrowing requirements and short-sale restrictions that can apply to cash equities. Plus500 said it will add instruments based on customer demand, liquidity and market conditions; it did not disclose how many stocks were available at launch or provide initial trading figures.

The rollout extends Plus500's US operations, which now include retail futures trading, institutional clearing, prediction markets and services for active trading firms. The company entered the US futures market in 2021 through the acquisitions of Cunningham Commodities and Cunningham Trading Systems, gaining a registered futures commission merchant and a futures and options platform. Since then, it has launched a retail futures platform, expanded institutional clearing and signed agreements with trading and evaluation businesses. Chief Executive David Zruia said the single-stock futures launch builds on growth across these non-OTC operations.

Plus500's non-OTC division generated more than $100 million in revenue during 2025, a company record, after accounting for roughly 10% of group revenue in 2024. Segregated customer funds held across the division rose 160% to more than $900 million last year. The segment also includes prediction markets: in February, Plus500 introduced event contracts for US retail clients through a partnership with Kalshi, and it later became the clearing partner for FanDuel Prediction Markets alongside CME Group and FanDuel. In June, it added sports event contracts covering football, basketball, baseball and the 2026 World Cup as federally regulated event contracts.

Traders in the new futures do not receive voting rights or dividends because they do not own the underlying shares, and leverage means relatively small price movements can produce larger gains or losses versus the margin deposited. Exchange trading provides standardized contract terms and central clearing, while cash settlement removes the need to deliver shares. Adoption will depend on liquidity, spreads and the range of available companies.

Plus500 reported 2025 revenue of $792.4 million, up 3%, with adjusted EBITDA up 2% to $348.1 million. CFDs remain the group's largest business, but the new product adds another exchange-listed offering to a US platform that has become a second growth engine. The key question is whether Plus500 can turn its regulatory infrastructure into sustained customer activity across futures, clearing and prediction markets rather than simply expanding its product count.
