Huddlestock and Gigabroker now target a simultaneous public launch on iOS, Android and the web in late November 2026. In their 27 October update, the companies say the platform core is feature complete and the remaining weeks will be used for stability and load testing. Selected users are already trading, but the wider public rollout has moved again.[1][2]
The distinction matters because GIGA Broker has been operating in progressively wider test phases for months. A limited crypto soft launch was followed by live securities trading for a selected German user group in July. Huddlestock then described a public launch first for September, later for October, before the 27 October update moved the target to late November and tied it to all three customer channels being ready at once.[2][3][1]
From controlled trading to a public rollout
GIGA Broker rollout milestones
| Milestone | Published status | What it established |
|---|---|---|
| March 2025 agreement | Huddlestock to provide the regulated and operating infrastructure; GIGA Broker to control the proposition, pricing and customer acquisition | Defined the parties’ intended roles rather than launching a public serviceSource 4 |
| July 2026 selected users | Live platform offered to a controlled German group with securities and crypto trading | Established operating use, but not general availabilitySource 2 |
| August Q2 update | Public launch planned for October after interface and feature work | Showed a further timetable change and ongoing refinementSource 3 |
| 27 October update | Late-November target for simultaneous iOS, Android and web launch | Current announced milestone; still conditional on final testingSource 1 |
The customer proposition is broader than the initial soft launch. Huddlestock says the intended public platform combines stocks, exchange-traded funds, savings plans and crypto. Gigabroker is built on Huddlestock’s German Investment-as-a-Service framework, while the original agreement assigned the customer proposition, pricing and acquisition to GIGA Broker. This is therefore a partner-operated retail service rather than a direct-to-consumer Huddlestock brokerage.[1][4]
AVL, Gigabroker’s owner, already serves about 65,000 customers, which Huddlestock presents as the initial addressable base. Huddlestock says its revenue from the partnership is linked to trading activity, while Gigabroker aims to support more than 200,000 customers within three years. Those are commercial ambitions, not current account or activity figures. The launch will still need to demonstrate that onboarding, custody, payments and multi-asset operations scale beyond the controlled user group.[1]
Opening all three channels together concentrates the remaining work around one public launch. The next milestone is general customer access on the promised platforms, followed by evidence that onboarding and trading activity can grow beyond the selected-user group. Huddlestock’s trading-linked revenue makes that transition commercially significant.[1][2]
