CFD broker Axi has appointed Andrea Rebusco as Regional Head for the UK, EU and LATAM, strengthening its leadership across the three key markets.

Rebusco Brings Broad Brokerage Background

Rebusco joins Axi after serving as Managing Director for Retail Brokerage at the liquidity provider in oil derivatives Onyx Capital Group. Before that, he worked as Head of Brokerage at Moneyfarm.

His earlier roles include senior positions at London-based bond trading platform WiseAlpha, where he served as Managing Director, Head of Strategic Growth and Partnerships and then as Chief Commercial Officer.

His longest stint was with IG, where he dedicated more than nine years in a series of trading services and leadership roles. He joined IG in 2009, later becoming Head of Trading Services for Italy and Spain, and then Head of European Trading Services.

Nearly a Decade at IG in Trading Services Roles

He also served as Managing Director of IG Spain, based in Madrid, before taking the role of Head of EMEA Trading Services. His new mandate at Axi covers clients and operations across the UK, European Union and Latin America.

Axi’s appointment of Rebusco comes as the broker continues to reshape its senior ranks. It follows another notable change last year when long-serving Chief Commercial Officer Louis Cooper stepped down in September, ending a 26-year forex and CFD industry career.

Meanwhile, Axi launched a new crypto service called Axi BuyCrypto, allowing clients to buy, sell, or hold cryptocurrencies directly on its platform within the existing trading environment.

The launch aligns with a broader shift among CFD brokers into direct crypto trading, following similar initiatives such as Pepperstone’s dedicated spot crypto exchange for Australian users and IG Group’s entry into spot crypto in the UK after securing an FCA crypto asset licence.

Axi’s introduction of Buy Crypto also follows its earlier rollout of perpetual crypto contracts, underscoring the company’s strategy to deepen its presence in the digital asset space.
