STARTRADER has launched 45 new 24/7 Stock and ETF CFDs, expanding its around-the-clock offering from Aug. 13, 2026 across seven market themes with no trading-hour restrictions. The broker said the range runs from Monday through Sunday, 00:00-24:00 (GMT+3 platform time) and spans Chinese AI, AI infrastructure, technology, crypto and digital assets, energy, other equities, and ETFs. Two new additions are Zhipu and MiniMax, Hong Kong-listed Chinese AI companies that debuted on HKEX in January 2026; Zhipu develops large language models for enterprise and developer markets, while MiniMax focuses on artificial general intelligence and counts Alibaba, Tencent and Hillhouse Capital among its investors. Chief Executive Officer Peter Karsten said the launch is intended to track how market interest moves across regions, sectors and timeframes, while the company reiterated that out-of-hours trading can bring wider spreads, reduced liquidity and price gaps, especially when underlying markets are closed.
