IG Group has agreed to sell its stake in the US-based Small Exchange to crypto firm Kraken in a deal valuing the platform at $100 million (£74.9 million). The purchase includes $32.5 million in cash and $67.5 million in Payward (Krakens parent company) stock. IG reported a post-tax gain of £73.3 million and a £22.7 million boost to its regulatory capital resources.
As part of the transaction, IG will enter a partnership with Kraken to help distribute Small Exchanges products. The Chicago-based Small Exchange operates as a designated contract market registered with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The sale comes amid IG‘s ongoing expansion in the digital assets sector. Last month, the London-listed broker announced its planned acquisition of Australian crypto exchange Independent Reserve, expected to close in early 2026. IG also recently secured a cryptoasset licence from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, paving the way for wider crypto services to UK clients.

FCA Warns Swift TradeX on 1 September 2026: 7 Checks Before Paying
FCA warns Swift TradeX in a notice first published and updated on 1 September 2026. The UK Financial Conduct Authority says the firm may be providing or promoting financial services without permission, is not authorised, and may be targeting people in the UK. The notice names the website swifttradexai.com, a Worcester address and a UK telephone number, but also cautions that unauthorised businesses may use incorrect or borrowed contact details. The confirmed issue is authorisation status—not a court finding about every transaction. Anyone considering a payment should stop, verify the firm independently, and avoid using contact information supplied by the platform itself.
