Our take
With the aim of "making investing fun”, Unicorn-verified tastytrade has amassed a following in the hundreds of thousands, delivering technology and support for "do-it-yourself" investors.
Founded in 2011, the company supplies not only a trading platform but trading education resources as well. It has launched dozens of podcasts and online video channels focusing on investment strategies and trading, as well as learning courses for those looking to get their start in the space.
Acquired by IG Group, a global player in trading, in 2021, tastytrade has since employed this added strength to scale up its business and expand into international markets. This increasing visibility - at a time when markets are especially unpredictable and its platform an invaluable asset - has enabled tastytrade to continue its upward momentum, reporting record demand in early 2025. This strong performance underscores the growing importance of its platform in an ever-evolving market.
