XTB has rolled out American-style options trading to France, Portugal, Czech Republic and Slovakia, expanding availability to seven European markets just weeks after launching in Germany and Spain. The Warsaw-listed broker now offers options on 110 US-listed stocks and ETFs, continuing an aggressive product expansion that previously sent its shares to record highs. Notably, Polish customers still cannot access the product pending regulatory approval despite XTB being headquartered in Warsaw.
France represents the most significant addition, where XTB has invested heavily in marketing since launching tax-advantaged PEA accounts in April 2025. The French client base grew fifty percent year-over-year through end-2025, targeting over seven million existing long-term investment accounts. The options are buy-only, including same-day expiry contracts on select underlyings, and integrate with TradingView charts on XTB’s xStation platform. The structure caps revenue potential but limits downside risk for retail derivatives traders.
