Tradingview hits 130m users milestone after first year in London

TradingView, the leading social network and charting platform for traders and investors, this morning celebrates its first year in the UK with the launch of a new feature, Timelines, and news that it has doubled its global user-base to 130M.

The New York-based company, which moved its executive function to the UK in 2019 following a $37m capital injection from Insight Venture Partners, has swollen its registered users to 13M registered accounts, including 500,000 Brits, fuelled in part by the lockdown trading boom.

Stocks, gold, major currency pairings, and a renewed interest in cryptocurrency have seen the platform, which provides real-time market data, user-generated insight, and best in class charting capabilities, stamp its footprint firmly in the minds of UK traders and investors.

James Maddison, Head of UK, TradingView, says: “What a year it’s been. The world was chaos and in that, people saw opportunity. It’s been a privilege to see TradingView step up at this moment and help traders and investors understand the vast complexities of the markets so they can find the best opportunities for themselves, whatever their preferred level of risk.

“Of course, we’re only at the start of this movement which we think will take market participation to the very heart of British life. In a world where everyone is a shareholder, a cryptocurrency trader, a financial analyst, they’ll need to understand and enjoy what it is they’re doing – what they’re trading and what they’re investing in. This is where TradingView excels, helping users ‘look first’, and it’s where we’ll be building for years to come.”
