Scope
Prime, the institutional arm of Rostro Group, has completed the full rollout of
DIGIXAU, a gold CFD product that runs continuously, including on evenings and
weekends, the company said today (Thursday).
The move
extends the firm’s existing gold trading access beyond conventional market
hours. Institutional clients can now hedge gold positions, adjust exposure and
manage risk as events unfold, without waiting for markets to reopen. The
product is structured as a CFD, keeping it within Scope Prime’s
over-the-counter liquidity framework.
Weekend Trading Closes a
Market Gap
Traditional
gold markets shut down on Friday evening and resume late Sunday, leaving a
window where traders are exposed to news and price risk without the ability to
respond. Scope Prime said DIGIXAU closes that window by maintaining a
continuous order book through the weekend.
The launch
comes after Scope Prime updated its
gold spread structure in January, citing sustained repricing in precious metals driven by persistent
volatility.
“Amid
unprecedented global economic uncertainty, access to safe-haven assets has
never been more important,” Daniel Lawrance, Chief Executive Officer at
Scope Prime, commented. “DIGIXAU provides what traditional gold products
cannot – the ability to trade and manage positions at any time, including
weekends. As more market-moving events occur outside standard hours,
uninterrupted access is increasingly critical.”
Gold’s role
as a safe-haven asset has grown significantly, with the metal testing record
highs earlier this year and volumes surging across CFD platforms. A Finance
Magnates analysis in January argued that gold’s shifting market dynamics are forcing liquidity
providers to rethink how their products are structured, pointing to growing
client demand outside standard trading windows as one of the key pressure
points.
Lawrance
also pointed to internal infrastructure work as what made the full rollout
possible. “Recent enhancements to our crypto CFD liquidity, pricing and
depth have enabled us to deliver this product across our full institutional
client base,” he added.
Crypto Architecture
Carries Over to Gold
DIGIXAU
sits within Scope Prime’s crypto CFD infrastructure, a structure the company
has been building out over the past year. The product is offered through MMCD
Resources Ltd, regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the Seychelles,
the same entity that governs Scope Prime’s digital asset CFD business.
That
framework, built to support continuous trading in crypto markets, is what makes
24/7 gold exposure technically feasible in a CFD format.
Scope
Prime expanded its
crypto CFD offering to 77 new instruments and moved to round-the-clock trading
in August 2025, and
subsequently integrated
liquidity from major crypto exchanges and market makers to deepen its order book and
improve pricing.
Rostro had
also flagged wider ambitions in digital asset infrastructure, with the launch of
prime services for crypto CFDs in mid-2025 alongside plans to add spot trading
capabilities.
Rising Gold Volumes
Provide the Backdrop
The broader
market context supports demand for the product. Gold has become the
dominant trading instrument at major CFD brokers, with volumes more than doubling at some
platforms as the metal extended a sustained rally.
Market
participants are increasingly trading on geopolitical and macroeconomic
developments that tend to emerge outside regular market hours, a pattern that
reinforces the case for always-available products.
Scope Prime
has been broadening its product mix across asset classes in recent months,
including the launch of futures and options trading for institutional clients
in February 2026, which added on-exchange access to metals, indices, and soft
commodities.
Rostro
Group, for its part, secured a
Category 5 license in the UAE in late 2025, extending its regulatory footprint as the
group continues to expand into new markets.
