IG Group completes acquisition of Independent Reserve, advancing crypto business expansion in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East
Odaily Planet Daily reports that online trading giant IG Group has completed its acquisition of the cryptocurrency trading platform Independent Reserve. The deal has been approved by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The acquisition was first announced in September 2025, marking IG Group’s official expansion into the digital asset space.
Independent Reserve will be integrated into the IG Group system while maintaining stable and compliant existing services. IG plans to leverage Independent Reserve’s encryption technology and operational experience to launch local-market cryptocurrency trading products in Singapore, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates in the second half of 2026.
IG Group stated that this acquisition will help it expand compliant digital asset services in markets with gradually clarifying regulations; meanwhile, Independent Reserve believes that with IG’s resources and regional network, it will accelerate the internationalization of its crypto products.
