The launch and expansion of Sproutfi come as investors increasingly trust themselves and their embedded networks.

The firm cuts out the jargon and brings social trading to an environment free from the gamification of competitors, Sproutfi CEO and co-founder Ruben Guerrero saidto Benzinga last year. Users dont even have to have an account to contribute or derive value from the platform.

Its very easy for someone sitting in Brazil to open an account in the U.S., in a matter of minutes, Guerrero added. "We allow them to fund accounts and start trading fractionally with as little as one U.S. dollar."
