A Busy Year on the Product and Regulatory Fronts
FXTM is a CySEC -regulated multi-asset online broker. It appeared in the news this year because of its high profile sport sponsorship deals – it began sponsoring a Formula One team in February, and then signed a deal with tennis star Dominika Cibulková in July. FXTM also has partnerships with teams and players across several sports.
In addition, FXTM had been ahead of the curve in the launch of new FX products space. It was one of the earliest adapted brokers for the MT5 platform.
The company had previously been operating in the EU with a CySEC license and its move to diversify its portfolio comes after registering material growth in client numbers throughout 2017. In February 2018, FXTM reported that its client base increased by 77 percent year-on-year with its number of active clients swelling by 64 percent over the same period.
