Bitbuy will utilize Alpaca’s Broker API and partner with a Canadian investment bank and IIROC member for routing, execution, clearance and custody services.

“Providing seamless access to stock trading makes Bitbuy the first platform in Canada to offer a full suite of crypto trading as well as fractional trading of U.S. equities with real-time settlement,” stated Ben Samaroo, WonderFi’s CEO. “This is in furtherance of our goal of making users’ lives easier and bringing key asset classes within our easy-to-use, regulated platforms.”

“Alpaca is always about opening financial services access globally, now with partners in more than 25 countries. This partnership with WonderFi accelerates our mission, and I am very excited that Alpaca’s infrastructure will support the service to people in Canada, where many of our employees reside,” added Yoshi Yokokawa, Alpaca’s Co-Founder and CEO.

WonderFi Technologies improves access to digital assets through centralized and decentralized platforms.

WonderFi (WNDR) is up by 3.85 per cent, trading at $0.405 per share at 10:14 am EST.
