In recent years, Darwinex has grown from a one-man operation to a diverse staff count of nearly thirty people and had been recognized by the FinTech50 in Europe as the company continues to evolve via the use of its unique business model. The Darwinex brand and website is owned by Tradeslide Trading Tech Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) ), and Finance Magnates recently covered its annual filings which showed growth for its 2015 reported year when compared to its results for the prior year.
The company continues to add new DARWINS (i.e. trading systems), called IPOs when first added on the Darwinex platform, with an additional 18 announced today for this week's additions. Earlier this month Darwinex allocated 550,000 euros across the top 22 DARWINS during a related trading competition where the allocations are awarded to winners based on their trading results.
