After raising $37 million<\/a> to bring its on-the-spot stock market analytics tools to a wider range of publishers and other internet partners, TradingView<\/a> today has announced its first acquisition to supercharge the services that it offers to investors, wherever they happen to be online. The startup has acquired TradeIt<\/a>, which has built an API for on-the-spot trading on any site that uses it.<\/p>\n

The terms of deal were not disclosed, but we understand from sources close to the deal that it was under $20 million, more specifically in the \u201chigh teens.\u201d TradeIt, which used to be called Trading Ticket<\/a>, had raised about $12 million from investors that included Peter Thiel\u2019s mostly-fintech fund Valar Ventures, Citi Ventures and others<\/a>. TradingView had raised just over $40 million<\/a> with investors including Insight Partners, TechStars and others.<\/p>\n

The deal is a big move for consolidation: together the two say they will serve more than 10 million monthly active users in 150 countries, covering some $70 billion in linked assets. But also, better economies of scale, and better margins for companies that provide services that touch consumers not necessarily from a \u201chome\u201d of their own.<\/p>\n

The latter is a growing trend that has mirrored the rise of social media and other services that aggregate content from multiple sources; and also the bigger trend of instant, on-demand everything, where consumers are happier with the convenience of buying or engaging with something right when they want to, rather than shopping around, delaying or navigating to another place to do it.<\/p>\n

That has also seen the rise of commerce APIs to buy things instantly, not to mention the emergence of a wide range of commerce applications that let people easily buy goods and services on the spot. (And in line with that, TradingView <\/a> says that nearly half of its user base today is millennials, with an additional 13 percent even younger, Gen Z. \u201cThe groups are particularly drawn to [our] extensive charting expertise,\u201d the company says.)<\/span><\/p>\n

In fintech, and in the world of investing specifically, that\u2019s a trend that has also helped the growth of cryptocurrency, which has opened up the world of investing and thinking about investing to a whole new class of consumers who \u2014 for better or worse \u2014 are hearing about investing opportunities via viral social media campaigns and other new kinds of channels. Whether cryptocurrency speculation bears out longer term, it is depositing a new class of people into the world of thinking about companies and investing in them.<\/p>\n

That taps into the sweet spot where TradeIt and TradingView are building their business.<\/p>\n

\u201cTradeIt\u2019s secure and compliant relationships with established U.S. retail brokerages, coupled with their robust integrations with top investing apps, allows TradingView to be part of the backbone of the investing ecosystem,\u201d said Denis Globa, TradingView founder and CEO, in a statement.<\/p>\n

TradingView\u2019s partners today include Crunchbase, Investopedia, SeekingAlpha, Zacks, Binance, CME Group and Entrepreneur, where users are able to access a premium tier of TradingView tools by way of a subscription in order to do some instant data and price modelling of a company that they might be reading about. The thinking is that now they will also be able to go one step further by trading stocks related to that information. TradingView, meanwhile, can use that extra feature to make a little more money and sell its service to partners as more sticky, to the tune of 80 percent more time spent with publishers as a result of integrating TradingView\u2019s tools.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s something that the two companies can already attest to doing well in partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cTradingView\u2019s vision aligns strongly with our view of the distributed financial networks of the future,\u201d said Nathan Richardson, TradeIt CEO, in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked with TradingView for several years now, and always felt our complementary products and shared retail investing users makes us stronger together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richardson and his cofounder Betsy Eisenberg \u2014 who are both joining TradingView \u2014 had together built Yahoo Finance \u2014 so they are already well experienced in how to leverage the potential of bringing together content with utility.<\/p>\n

\u201cNathan Richardson and Betsy Eisenberg are fintech pioneers who led the development of Yahoo! Finance from scratch. With them on board, we\u2019re extremely excited about the growth potential,\u201d Globa said.<\/p>\n
