Nasdaq announces that Lightyear Europe has been granted a broker status for trading on the Nasdaq Baltic stock exchanges, and the status of an account operator in the Nasdaq CSD to settle trades and safekeep investors assets. Lightyear, having access to all three Baltic securities settlement systems, becomes the 7th Estonia-based and 41st account operator of Nasdaq CSD in overall.

Lightyear Europe is an investment platform that offers investors easy access to trading in stocks from the US, the UK and the EU markets.

“I’m particularly happy to welcome Lightyear to Nasdaq Baltic market as they are an Estonian-founded company, but even more so because of their big ambition. Lightyear was established just a couple of years ago, but their investment platform is already available in a bulk of European markets. Their membership on the Baltic market means that from now on the Baltic equities are also at the fingertips of the investors all across those countries,” said Kristi Sisa, Member of the Management Board of Nasdaq CSD and Head of Nasdaq CSD’s Estonian branch.

Lightyear Europe was established in Estonia in 2021 and is currently offering over 3500 mixed fractional and non-fractional stocks from the US, the UK and the EU markets as well as access to international ETFs. Lightyear also offers a multi-currency account to deposit, hold and convert across three different currencies, and interest on uninvested funds. Lightyear is authorised and regulated by the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority, and authorised to operate across the European Union.
