Plus500 Review for investors in Gibraltar: CFD Trading on 2,800+ Instruments
Plus500 is a heavyweight of the CFD industry — a publicly listed company trading on the London Stock Exchange and included in the UK's FTSE 250 index, founded in 2008 and serving over 30 million customers worldwide. Regulated by eight tier-1 authorities including the FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia, CySEC in Cyprus and MAS in Singapore, it operates under one of the strongest multi-jurisdictional regulatory frameworks in the industry. The instrument range covers 2,800+ CFDs across seven asset classes: shares, indices, forex, commodities, ETFs, options and cryptocurrencies. Plus500 runs entirely on its own proprietary platform — available as WebTrader and mobile app — with a clean, no-clutter interface designed for ease of use. Trading is commission-free, with costs built into the spread, and a minimum deposit of $100. A standout feature is +Insights, a proprietary sentiment and analytics tool that shows real trader positioning data across instruments.
