US options and futures


alpen

Question

Today I received an email from IG regarding 'our brand-new US options and futures account, brought to you in partnership with our award-winning* friends at tastytrade'.

I want to check this out. The email states 'try it now by logging into your My IG dashboard, clicking add an account and selecting US options and futures' but I don't see that option on My IG dashboard. Elsewhere I saw there was a new IG Android app called 'IG US options and futures app '. I downloaded it and logged in using my usual IG credentials and it took me straight to the usual IG dealing app.

What am I missing?

I do see the option to open a US options & futures account both on the website and on the Android app (v24.5.4). Maybe you have an old version of the app?

 

On Android go to Account -> manage account -> Add an account -> US options and futures

That's interesting. On android if I go through that sequence (Account -> manage account -> Add an account ->) it states 'No accounts to display'.

I have the latest version of the app. It would seem they've set something for you but not for me even though they've sent me the email.

And I don't see any option to 'Add an account'  on the dashboard on the browser.

    • The realm of decentralized finance (DeFi) has been buzzing with the rise of innovative solutions designed to optimize user experiences and maximize returns. One such mechanism, liquid staking, allows users to stake their assets while still receiving liquid tokens. Leading platforms such as Lido Finance and Rocket Pool have pioneered this trend, enabling users to earn staking rewards without sacrificing liquidity. Entering this competitive landscape is Swell Network, which offers a fresh perspective. Swell Network is making waves with its innovative protocols aimed at maximizing yield potential for stakeholders. Having secured $3.75 million in a seed funding round, Swell plans to launch its Ethereum layer-2 chain in the second half of 2024. The network is also planning several events like the community campaign, Launchpool, PoolX etc with major centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Bitget and even premarket trading opportunities. The recent 2000x in the span of 3 days have made Swell a token to keep an eye on!  Do you think the combination of these events propelled its recent good price action?
    • It’s interesting that crypto payments, despite how simple they are, still haven’t really become mainstream yet. Services like Bitget Pay are making it easier, though, letting people send and receive money almost instantly with different cryptocurrencies. As more platforms offer various crypto payment options, it’s starting to feel accessible for everyone, whether you’re just experimenting with crypto or actually running a business.   One of the best things about Bitget Pay—and others like it—is that they don’t charge transaction fees, don’t impose restrictions, and even work with Google Pay and Apple Pay. That kind of flexibility really makes crypto payments feel like a practical alternative to traditional methods, especially for those of us who want affordable, convenient, and accessible options.   If more people start using these crypto payment services, we could be looking at a real shift in how we handle money—a move toward a more decentralized and flexible system. Have you ever tried one of these services? It’d be interesting to see how they stack up against traditional payment options and what kind of difference they might make as more people start to use them.
