Stake’s New Design
Stake, the popular trading app for U.S listed stocks has launched a tweaked new design. Stake has been doubling down on their black and white aesthetic and it certainly makes them stand out. Everything just feels a little more “italic”. The nicest new feature is dark mode, which is essential as I’m sure i’m not the only Australian who has woken up in the middle of the night to check on a position 😂
Stake is also promising smoother and faster performance. The one gripe I had with the app was things could sometimes hang. They have upgraded the engine underneath. The real test will be when the next “gamestop” happens.
ASX Coming Soon
Stake has been teasing for a while their plans to launch support for ASX traded securities. Still no work on when that’s coming and what it will look like. My guess is they’ll match or come close to the pricing of Superhero. I’m really hoping they go down the custodian route as well. I’m genuinely excited for this. The competition in Australian between ASX brokers is woeful.
