Alpaca’s 2025 in Review

2025 was a significant year for Alpaca as we expanded the scope and depth of our brokerage infrastructure. We advanced our self-clearing capabilities, entered new markets, and supported a broader range of asset classes while continuing to serve hundreds of global partners.

Over the past year, we aggressively expanded our API infrastructure with a diverse set of new products and features, including: multi-leg options, Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network (“ITN”), 24/5 trading, Fully-Paid Securities Lending (FPSL), Fixed Income access, Alpaca’s MCP Server, OmniSub for advanced sub-accounting and support for Shariah-compliant investing. We also received Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (“FICC”) and Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”) approvals along with Nasdaq Exchange membership, advancing Alpaca’s existing clearing capabilities for US equities through the DTCC and positioning the Company as a robust multi-asset, self-clearing broker-dealer.

It was also an incredible year for Alpaca’s global expansion and industry recognition. We partnered with leading financial institutions, announced our acquisition of WealthKernel to support operations in the UK and EU, completed a $52 million Series C funding round to support continued growth, and won numerous industry awards.

All of these developments advanced our mission and vision of opening financial services to everyone on the planet by building the global de facto standard infrastructure for investing. As the year comes to a close, we’re proud to share some of our key milestones as well as our focus for 2026.

New Products and Releases - Trading API

At Alpaca, we strive to make trading more cost-efficient, transparent, and accessible for the next generation of active traders and developers. In 2025, we focused on scaling advanced trading capabilities. From launching yield products that enhance the returns of idle assets to expanding our multi-asset support, we have equipped traders with the tools needed to build, automate, and scale sophisticated strategies with ease. This is only the beginning. We are committed to investing in features and offering competitive pricing to ensure Alpaca remains the most innovative, transparent, and developer-first platform for modern trading.  

Multi-Leg Options Trading*

We introduced Level 3 multi-leg options trading, enabling advanced strategies such as spreads, straddles, and condors. This provides algorithmic traders with professional-grade options capabilities, allowing more sophisticated risk management and strategy execution.

Options on TradingView*

Our integration with TradingView expanded this year with options trading directly on the TradingView interface with their Alpaca account. Traders can now analyze, chart, and execute US options trades with professional-grade options tools, visual analysis, and execution capabilities within their preferred charting experience.

High-Yield Cash**

Following the success of the High-Yield Cash API for Broker API in 2024, High-Yield Cash became available to Trading API in 2025. This feature enables traders to earn competitive returns on idle USD balances while maintaining the flexibility to withdraw or transfer funds at any time.

Stock Lending***

We rolled out Stock Lending for US-based traders, providing another channel to generate passive income by lending fully-paid US equities at competitive rates. We’ve made it easy for traders to optimize their portfolio without any impact on day-to-day trading activities. 

Alpaca's MCP Server****

Alpaca’s MCP Server now enables traders to research markets, analyze data, and execute trades using AI interfaces like ChatGPT, VS Code, Cursor, and Claude. Acting as a bridge between AI agents and Alpaca’s trading infrastructure, the server provides structured access to market data, portfolio information, and order execution across US equities, options, and crypto. The MCP Server streamlines workflows and enables faster, more efficient decision-making in trading. 

Direct Market Access for Elite Smart Router*****

Alpaca enhanced its Elite Smart Router by launching a Direct Market Access (DMA) Gateway and advanced order types, VWAP and TWAP, to provide institutional and algorithmic traders with greater control over their execution strategies. The DMA Gateway enables traders to route orders directly to specific exchanges, such as NASDAQ, ARCA, and NYSE, while the new algorithmic order types help minimize market impact by automating execution based on volume and time benchmarks.

Zero ETB Borrow Fees******

Alpaca eliminated borrowing fees for all easy-to-borrow (ETB) stocks, allowing traders to short ETB shares at zero additional cost. No fees reduce barriers for active traders, improve flexibility and efficiency, and enhance competitiveness for short-selling strategies.

New Products and Releases - Broker API

At Alpaca, we strive to make brokerage infrastructure transparent and accessible for our partners. In 2025, we scaled our Broker API to empower partners with a truly global, multi-asset toolkit that bridges traditional finance with the digital future. We shattered the constraints of traditional market hours and asset classes. We enabled partners to enhance customer returns and eliminate back-office complexity. We remain committed to delivering the foundational features and competitive advantage that ensure Alpaca remains the most innovative brokerage infrastructure for those building the future of modern embedded finance.

24/5 Trading^

We announced 24/5 US equity trading access at Alpaca’s Partner Summit in Kyoto. 24/5 enables global partners to embed around-the-clock trading, empowering users to respond to earnings, economic events, and global news as they occur, reducing the constraints of traditional market hours while creating a tailored experience for their customers.

Alpaca's Instant Tokenization Network^^

We launched Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network (ITN) on stage at Token2049, enabling real-time tokenization of US equities by converting executed orders into digital settlement tokens. Alpaca’s ITN bridges traditional brokerage infrastructure with blockchain technology, reducing post-trade friction, streamlining settlement, and supporting programmable finance.

ITN enables developers, fintech platforms, and institutional traders to access tokenized assets while maintaining regulatory compliance, laying the groundwork for next-generation clearing models, increased transparency, and expanded global access to tokenized US equities.

Fixed Income Trading^^^

We expanded our asset offerings to include fixed income, starting with US Treasuries, providing partners’ users with an equities-like trading experience. The infrastructure aggregates quotes from liquidity providers, routes orders efficiently ( as fast as ~2 ms on average.), and supports both market and marketable limit orders, with plans for fractional support. Alpaca also built partner-friendly, non-predatory fee structures and aims to extend support to additional bond types and broader fixed-income markets in the near future.

Securities Lending~

We launched Fully Paid Securities Lending for Broker API, allowing our partners to offer securities lending programs to their users. The feature enables partners and their customers to earn passive income by lending eligible, fully paid US equities without managing operational or compliance complexity. This offering brings institutional-grade capability into retail and embedded investing experiences through a simple API integration.

OmniSub

We launched Alpaca’s OmniSub, a powerful sub-accounting platform that provides the privacy and flexibility of an omnibus account structure without the operational burden of building a complex ledger. OmniSub automates complex back-office tasks, including real-time position management, trade matching, and corporate action processing. This technology simplifies operations for financial institutions, enabling scalable and efficient multi-account management  and financial workflows.

Stocktwits Integration

Through a partnership with Stocktwits, the leading social platform for investors and traders with over 10 million traders, Alpaca partners can provide users with real-time social sentiment data directly alongside Alpaca-powered trading. This brings community-driven insight and market chatter right into the investment workflow, helping users stay informed without leaving the platform.

Expanding Our Crypto Infrastructure 

We expanded our crypto infrastructure by making our offering MiCA-compliant and available across 49 US states and in the EU, broadening regulated access for partners and investors. Additionally, we introduced crypto post-trade settlement, enabling capital efficiencies by netting crypto obligations against securities balances. We also launched an institutional-grade stablecoin on/off-ramp with zero-slippage market orders and 24/7 settlement SLAs measured in seconds, bringing regulated, high-performance crypto infrastructure closer to traditional brokerage standards.

Celebrating Our Partners

We increased our global footprint by forming new strategic collaborations and scaling existing partnerships. Each of these partnerships has helped increase financial access and enhanced localized investing solutions. Below are some of our partners’ Broker API launch and success stories:

Expanding Our Presence Globally 

WealthKernel Acquisition — Entering the UK & EU

Alpaca announced its acquisition of WealthKernel, a UK- and EU-based wealthtech platform with licensed brokerage and tax-advantaged products, including Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs). This move accelerates Alpaca’s ability to serve partners across the UK and EU with compliant trading, custody, and wealth products. Completion remains subject to regulatory approvals.

Series C Funding — Fueling Global Expansion

Alpaca achieved a significant capital milestone this year, closing a $52 million Series C funding round led by new and returning investors, including Derayah Financial, 850 Management, National Investments Company (NIC), Unbound, and Portage Ventures. This funding strengthened our capacity to expand globally, enhanced our institutional-grade APIs, deepened our self-clearing capabilities, and extended asset-class access across the US, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.

We hosted our second annual Partner Summit in Kyoto, Japan, bringing together over 70 global fintech companies for networking and sessions on AI in finance, tokenization, and sustainable growth strategies.

Conference Presence

We hosted workshops at TechWeek in LA and SF, championed the convergence of TradFi and blockchain at TOKEN2049 and Solana Breakpoint, and explored the evolution of embedded investing with banking leaders at Money20/20 in the USA and Europe. From developer hackathons to major fintech stages, it was a great year for Alpaca and we’re excited to continue sharing our story in 2026.

Alpaca’s Recognition in the Industry

In 2025, industry leaders and global institutions continued to validate Alpaca’s innovation, infrastructure strength, and market influence across digital markets, traditional finance, and entrepreneurial excellence. These recognitions reflect our commitment to scaling open financial services worldwide and setting new standards in broker‑dealer infrastructure.

Nasdaq Exchange Membership

Alpaca achieved Nasdaq exchange membership, strengthening our ability to provide full‑stack brokerage infrastructure. The Nasdaq membership allows Alpaca to connect directly to the exchange’s order book, providing streamlined access to its full depth of liquidity and a comprehensive suite of order types. This membership enhances our execution capabilities, contributes to market depth, and reinforces our commitment to high‑performance, regulated operations.

OCC & FICC Memberships

We secured memberships with both the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) and the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC), enabling multi-asset self-clearing for our partners. With OCC and FICC memberships approved, and in combination with Alpaca’s existing Nasdaq membership and DTCC clearing status, we’re reducing our reliance on third-party clearing brokers across various offerings. 

Additionally, this provides Alpaca with full control over the trading lifecycle from execution to settlement while benefiting our global partners with greater workflow flexibility, real-time post-trade visibility, and fast trade processing. 

Alpaca Leading the Tokenization Market^^

In December, we announced that Alpaca holds over 94% of the market share for tokenized US stocks and ETFs, with more than $480 million in tokenized assets under custody, and a 97% share in tokenized large and mega-cap stocks, including TSLA, SPY, QQQ, NVDA, and IVV. This reflects our role as the de facto infrastructure standard for on-chain markets, driven by Alpaca’s ITN and partnerships with firms like Ondo Finance, Dinari, Backed Finance (xStocks), and more.

This position highlights our role in connecting regulated brokerage systems with blockchain technology and demonstrates how tokenization may help broaden access to traditional securities globally.
