WonderFi (WNDR) subsidiary Bitbuy intends to offer stock trading in Q1 2023.

The new service, in partnership with AlpacaDB, features access to thousands of U.S. stocks and ETFs with fractional trading and instant settlement.

“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.
