Digital trading refers to the nearly fully online process of buying and selling securities, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and currencies. Online trading offers benefits such as the ability to monitor investments at any time, faster transaction speeds, and lower costs. Brokerage firms involved in derivatives and commodities also provide specialized investment advice and solutions. For example, in July 2024, according to GOV.UK, a UK-based public sector information website, the UK joined the first global digital trade agreement negotiated under the World Trade Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization. The worldwide implementation of digital customs systems, processes, and documentation could potentially boost the UK's GDP by up to $26.32 billion (£24.2 billion) based on 2023 GDP figures. Therefore, the digitization of trading is fueling the growth of the derivatives and commodities brokerage market.
