Last week, popular trading platform TradeStation announced it as planning to go public through a SPAC merger. This news was quick to spark discussion around the question of whether TradeStation was destined to become the next Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD). This week has brought some more exciting news on that front as a lesser-known name prepares to move from over-the-counter status to the Nasdaq. Investors who learned to trade on Blackboxstocks (OTCMKTS:BLBX) will soon be able to trade BLBX stock on a major exchange.
The company describes itself as the market’s most user-friendly tool for options trading. However, BLBX stock hasn’t traded well recently. Shares have plunged more than 6% today as of this writing.
