Detroit – September 22, 2026 -- Benzinga has integrated its real-time news feed directly into the home screen of Markets App: Stocks & Crypto, the trading platform operated by Kinetiq, letting users read market news and execute trades without switching tools.
Benzinga News now surfaces alongside trade commentary in the app's feed
The integration places Benzinga News next to the trade theses and commentary that Markets App users already post and read, allowing a user to see a news article about a held stock, place a trade, and share their reasoning without leaving the app.
"Markets App users are making trading decisions in real time, and having Benzinga News right in their home feed means the context is there the moment they need it," said Emily Goldvekht, Account Manager at Benzinga. "This is exactly where we see financial news headed: woven directly into the moment someone actually acts on it, not sitting off to the side as something separate."
Kinetiq positions the move as an alternative to static research tools
Justin Greenberg, Co-founder and CTO of Markets by Kinetiq, said traders using the app move between news, thesis and execution throughout the day, and the Benzinga feed closes that loop natively. He described the integration as infrastructure that makes Markets App a genuine alternative to siloed research platforms.
Markets, accessible at markets.xyz, operates as a 24/7 multi-asset perpetual futures trading platform covering equities, commodities, FX and crypto. Every position on the platform is verified, public and available to follow in real time, extending leverage and continuous market access that were previously reserved for institutional traders to retail users.
Feed-based trading tools are displacing standalone research products
The tie-up reflects a broader shift among trading platforms toward social, feed-based experiences that replace static research interfaces, with Markets App embedding real-time news directly where users already share and act on trade ideas.
