Online trading group Plus500 Ltd (LON: PLUS) has announced a strategic partnership with Topstep, the U.S.-based trading education and evaluation platform, in a move that will accelerate Plus500’s expansion into the U.S. futures market.

Under the agreement, Plus500 will exclusively provide clearing and technology infrastructure for Topstep Brokerage and the wider Topstep enterprise. This will allow Topstep’s community of active traders to gain direct access to live CME Group markets through Plus500’s institutional-grade clearing, order routing, and risk management systems.

By combining Plus500’s robust infrastructure with Topstep’s trader development ecosystem, the partnership aims to deliver a secure, scalable, and education-driven trading environment designed to enhance market access and performance.

The collaboration represents a major milestone in Topstep’s evolution from a training platform to a fully operational brokerage, and a significant step in Plus500’s ongoing strategy to grow its U.S. footprint.

David Zruia, CEO of Plus500, said:

“Our partnership with Topstep marks another key step in expanding our presence across the U.S. futures market. Topstep’s loyal trader base and strong reputation create an excellent opportunity to strengthen our market position, drive new customer acquisition, and unlock additional growth potential for both companies.”

Michael Patak, Founder and CEO of Topstep, added:

“Topstep has always been about helping traders succeed. Partnering exclusively with Plus500 ensures we can now offer a best-in-class brokerage experience powered by world-leading technology. Together, we’re opening new doors for active traders and building a foundation for long-term growth.”
