IG expands UK digital asset offering, adding crypto transfers
Investing and trading platform operator IG Group (LON:IGG) has announced that it has significantly expanded its crypto offering for UK investors, following the successful rollout of its own licensed crypto product.
After securing its FCA cryptoasset registration in October 2025, IG has added more than 50 cryptocurrencies to its offering, increasing the total number available to more than 100.
Alongside the expanded range of digital assets, IG has introduced various tools and features designed to improve the crypto user experience. Customers can now exchange one cryptocurrency directly for another using swap functionality, whereas previously crypto purchases could only be made using fiat currency.
The platform now offers enhanced charting capabilities, enabling clients to switch between line and candlestick charts and add technical indicators and annotations for more detailed market analysis.
In the coming weeks, IG said it will introduce crypto transfers in and out, enabling customers to move existing holdings from external wallets onto the IG platform. This will make it easier for clients to manage crypto alongside a wide range of other IG products – including CFDs and spread bets – within a single account.
Mat Perkins, Product Director at IG, said,
“Our focus is on building one of the most complete and trusted crypto investing experiences for UK clients. Expanding the range of cryptocurrencies available on the platform is an important part of that, but equally important is giving customers the tools, functionality and flexibility to manage crypto in a more sophisticated way. From advanced trading features to integrated wallet transfers, we’re continuing to develop the product so clients can manage crypto seamlessly alongside the rest of their portfolio.”
