Genève, Switzerland, April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global multi-asset trading sector has recorded sustained growth through the first quarter of 2026, driven by retail investor demand for fractional share access and diversified portfolio tools. Digital Asset Reserves, an online trading and investment platform based in Switzerland, has expanded its service infrastructure to support a growing base of over five million lifetime funded accounts. The platform currently holds A$25 billion in client assets and provides access to more than 13,000 stocks and ETFs across 15 major global exchanges.
This growth follows a period of sustained investment in platform capabilities, including AI-powered portfolio analysis, multi-currency settlement, and an expanded range of tradable instruments covering forex, stocks, indices, and commodities.
The platform connects traders to exchanges including the ASX, NYSE, NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange, Tokyo Stock Exchange, Xetra, and Euronext Paris. Digital Asset Reserves supports trading in major, minor, and exotic forex pairs alongside a full suite of commodity and index instruments.
Price data is sourced from multiple liquidity providers, with updates delivered at sub-second intervals during active sessions. This multi-exchange framework allows traders to manage diversified positions across geographic regions from a single consolidated workspace.
Platform data shows that the number of active instruments has grown by 18% over the past 12 months. The expansion has focused on adding European and Asia-Pacific equities, reflecting increased demand from traders seeking exposure beyond traditional US-listed stocks.
Internal metrics indicate that users holding positions across three or more asset classes maintain higher average account balances than single-asset traders. This pattern supports the platform's positioning as a diversified multi-asset trading destination.
One of the platform's core features is fractional share access, which allows traders to invest in global equities starting from A$1. This capability removes the traditional barrier of high share prices for stocks listed on the NASDAQ and NYSE.
Digital Asset Reserves reports that fractional share orders now account for a significant portion of daily equity transactions. The feature has attracted a growing segment of first-time investors who use it to build diversified portfolios with smaller initial capital.
The 24/5 trading schedule extends market access beyond standard exchange hours. This continuous access model supports traders across multiple time zones and allows position management outside traditional market sessions.
