The story

Founded in 2011 as a charting and social network platform for retail traders, TradingView grew to 100M+ users by offering best-in-class financial visualization tools. Over time it evolved from a pure charting SaaS into a trading super-app by embedding broker integrations — allowing users to place trades directly from its platform via partners like Alpaca and CMC Markets. More recently it launched the Creator Program (Paid Spaces) enabling user monetization of financial content, adding a marketplace dynamic. Its embedded finance angle is centered on broker/execution integrations rather than banking or lending.
