The most interesting part of @ stock trading launch isn’t the $400M AUM

It’s who showed up
A quarter of users were under 25
Over 80% of trading volume came from emerging markets
Nearly 40% of trades were under $100
That doesn’t look like traditional equity investing
It looks like a new generation entering the market on its own terms
For years
- global investing was limited by account minimums
- banking requirements, FX costs, and geographic restrictions.
Now someone can start with as little as $5
The first-week data suggests there’s been demand all along
The infrastructure simply wasn’t built for smaller investors
What’s also notable is user behavior
About 70% of users are holding rather than actively trading
Meanwhile, AI-related names such as
- NVDA
- GOOGL
- MRVL attracted significant inflows
And indicating users are positioning around long-term themes rather than short-term market noise.l
The conversion metrics are equally telling:
• 1 in 10 product page visitors registered
• 64% of sign-ups placed a trade
• Users gained access to 1,100+ assets
• 124 assets surpassed $100K in traded value
To me, this is bigger than a stock product launch
We’re watching financial services converge into a single experience👇
where users can access digital assets, equities, payments, and eventually broader investment opportunities without switching platforms
The demand is there
The first week simply put numbers behind it.
