The NYSE’s approval gives the company membership in the New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE American LLC and NYSE Arca, Inc., respectively, making it one of the very first fintech brokers to achieve this status. The move also increases its worldwide number of global licenses and qualifications from 56 to 59.

As a world-leading online brokerage, we strive to elevate R&D to a new level, to allow everyone to enjoy a safe, stable and superior one-stop global investment experience,” said Wu Tianhua, CEO and founder of UP Fintech.
The approval comes after a comprehensive assessment by the NYSE of UP Fintech’s compliance standards, operational management, capital requirements and its front- and back-end systems.
“In our relentless pursuit of a better infrastructure we are redefining with next-generation technology, these advantages will surely bode well for our future growth,” Wu Tianhua added.
UP Fintech’s 59 licenses and qualifications are now spread across global markets, including SingaporeUSA, Hong Kongand Australia, which gives the company a competitive advantage when it comes to diversifying its license portfolio and increasing market coverage. This also lays a solid foundation for the company’s global expansion.
