PrimeXBT launches MT5 stock trading in South Africa

PrimeXBT, a regulated multi-asset broker, has expanded its offering in South Africa with the launch of stock CFDs, providing traders with access to some of the world’s most closely watched stocks.

This launch marks a key step in bringing a broader range of opportunities to South African clients, with stock trading now available on both MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and the PrimeXBT CFD trading platform.

The expansion includes leading US stocks such as MicroStrategy (MSTR), Amazon (AMZN), and Tesla (TSLA), each gaining major attention on the back of global themes such as AI, robotics, Bitcoin strategies, and the race for EV dominance. These high-profile stocks represent fast-moving sectors that continue to capture trader interest, offering exposure to dynamic and evolving narratives.

“Our goal is to equip traders in South Africa with access to the world’s most in-demand markets,” said Sihle Tuta, Head of Region for PrimeXBT South Africa. “The launch of stock CFDs on MT5 allows clients to trade high-profile global stocks with the ability to go long or short, without the barriers that often come with traditional investing.”

South African clients can trade stock CFDs using USD as margin, with access to popular local payment methods including Capitec Pay, local bank transfers, and Binance Pay. Support for ZAR transactions ensures that managing deposits and withdrawals remains familiar and accessible, helping clients handle their trading activity quickly.

As part of its broader mission to enhance market access and deliver greater flexibility, PrimeXBT remains focused on offering South African traders the tools to participate in global financial markets. With the launch of stock CFDs, clients can tap into some of the most actively traded stocks worldwide and take advantage of market opportunities with ease, control, and confidence.
