Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most commonly offered market?
Stocks are offered by 72% of the 345 brokers we analyzed, followed by indices (60%) and crypto (49%). Forex, despite being the largest financial market by volume, is only offered by 36% of brokers — because many stock-only and crypto-only platforms don't support it.
Do brokers with more markets rate higher?
Yes. Brokers offering 5–6 markets average 3.51/5 vs 3.03/5 for those with 1–2 markets. Multi-market brokers tend to be larger, better-capitalized, and more established — all factors that contribute to higher overall quality.
How many brokers only offer crypto?
52 brokers (15% of our database) offer crypto exclusively — no stocks, forex, or other markets. These are dedicated crypto exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
Which broker offers the most markets?
Forex.com, IG Group, and Vantage each offer 6 market types — the maximum in our database. These are full-service brokers that let you trade stocks, forex, crypto, commodities, indices, and CFDs from a single account.
