Effective 25 May 2026, clients gain access to high-impact opportunities spanning artificial intelligence, semiconductor infrastructure, clean energy, the space economy, institutional digital assets, and macro-thematic ETFs.
DUBAI, UAE, May 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- STARTRADER has announced the addition of 39 US stocks and ETFs to its trading platform, available from Monday, 25 May 2026. Spanning ten sectors, the launch provides clients with structured exposure to the industries attracting the strongest institutional capital flows across global markets.
Today's market environment is shaped by a set of interconnected structural themes: the AI infrastructure buildout, the energy demand it creates, the semiconductor and optical hardware it relies on, the institutional maturation of digital assets, and the commercialisation of the space economy. This expansion has been strategically built around that ecosystem.
Artificial intelligence anchors the launch, with products including ARM, APP, FIG, CLS, and CRDO covering AI hardware, CPU architecture, and software infrastructure. Underpinning that layer, semiconductor and optical communication companies — ASML, LITE, COHR, TER, ONTO, and KEYS — support the advanced chip production and high-speed data transfer capabilities that large-scale AI environments demand.
As AI adoption accelerates, so does demand across energy and utility systems. GEV, OKLO, CCJ, CEG, TLN, UUUU, and UNG capture the power generation, grid modernization, and clean energy transition required to sustain next-generation computing environments. The expansion further adds space economy exposure through ASTS, RKLB, IRDM, and SATS, targeting satellite communications and low-Earth orbit networks as institutional capital continues flowing into the sector.
On digital assets, CRCL, CLSK, GLXY, BLSH, SBET, and BMNR reflect the growing convergence between traditional finance and regulated crypto infrastructure, while KTOS adds exposure to autonomous defense and drone technologies. Rounding out the launch, INSM, STRL, and TME cover infrastructure and application opportunities, alongside six regional thematic ETFs — Japan (EWJ), South Korea (EWY), Brazil (EWZ), India (INDA), China (MCHI), and leveraged technology (TQQQ) — as well as TLT, providing a yield anchor during interest rate transitions.
"This launch is not about adding products — it is about building access to the interconnected system of industries driving the next phase of global capital. AI, energy, semiconductors, space, and institutional digital assets are not parallel themes; they are structurally linked. Our clients deserve exposure to all of it, with the breadth and relevance that today's markets demand." — Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER
All 39 products are available across STARTRADER's trading ecosystem from Monday, 25 May 2026, giving clients broader access to emerging global market themes through a more strategically diversified product offering. Clients are encouraged to review the full product specifications for detailed contract information and trading parameters.

STARTRADER Launches 39 New US Stocks and ETFs Across the Sectors Shaping the Future of Global Markets
The five-year alliance aims to increase digitalization in five of the group's subsidiaries, modernize systems that process millions of daily transactions across those subsidiaries, and enhance the user experience on an international scale.
MADRID, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) has announced a new five-year global agreement with Abertis, a leading infrastructure and mobility management group, to modernize Abertis's technological infrastructure. The collaboration includes migrating to SAP S/4HANA, and aims to improve system scalability, reliability and user experience across multiple countries. This new agreement extends more than a decade of collaboration and supports Abertis's digital transformation.
Abertis is one of the world's leading motorway operators, with a presence in Europe, the Americas and Asia. The agreement covers the comprehensive evolution of the systems supporting the group's operations, ranging from user management to high-volume transaction processing and incident management. These systems require high levels of reliability, security and performance, regardless of the operational scale or complexity of each environment.
Under the agreement, IBM will support Abertis in modernizing its platform on SAP S/4HANA technology to:
- Increase flexibility to adapt to different operating models
- Improve scalability to manage increasing transaction volumes
- Incorporate advanced analytics capabilities in near real-time
- Lay the groundwork for incorporating new services related to mobility
Where mobility becomes a system
With increased pressure on infrastructure and traffic, diverse operating models, and more demanding users, having common, scalable and reliable systems is a key enabler for multi-country operators.
The five-year agreement addresses a common technological framework for Abertis operations in Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Chile and Puerto Rico, with options to extend to additional markets primarily in Europe and America. This international approach is based on a shared technological architecture, adaptable to different regulations and reinforces the efficiency and scalability of the business.
Governance and delivery
IBM Consulting will provide consulting, implementation and technology management services, and will work with Abertis's IT and business teams under a joint governance model that includes defined success metrics, quality gates and change‑management activities designed to minimize business disruption.
"We are seeing how the infrastructure sector is entering a phase in which technology ceases to be a project and becomes a structural condition," said José Miguel, Partner, Distribution and Industrial Sector Leader at IBM Spain, IBM Consulting. "Agreements like this respond to that need to provide stability, coherence and a long-term vision to systems that are critical to daily operations."
Direct impact on user experience
Modernizing systems extends beyond internal operations. Under the agreement, IBM will help support Abertis in the development and of web portals and mobile applications aimed at the end user.
These solutions facilitate the management of accounts, vehicles, and payment methods, as well as the quick and secured viewing of trips and the making of payments, offering an integrated, transparent experience aligned with current user expectations. At the same time, the robustness of the systems contributes to efficient traffic and toll collection management. This is designed to reduce operational friction and reinforce the reliability of the service.
"This allows us the opportunity to make decisions with a long-term perspective and reduce complexity in a very diverse environment. Having a common framework gives us more predictability and more room to focus on business development and relationships with users," said Miguel Ángel Medina CIO of Abertis.
