U.S.-regulated, self-directed multi-asset brokerage built primarily for active traders, with advanced desktop, web, mobile, API, options, futures and equities tooling. Current official product pages emphasize stocks, ETFs, options, futures, futures options and mutual funds; crypto exposure appears limited to crypto-related futures/ETPs/market data, not current direct spot-crypto brokerage.
