He held roles at Number13Black, Tiger Brokers Australia, and CMC Markets APAC.
He also served as a guest lecturer on trading at Macquarie University.
Michael McCarthy has announced on LinkedIn that he has
joined Moomoo AU as its Chief Commercial Officer. McCarthy will lead the
company's strategic planning, market growth, and customer engagement efforts
across Australia.
New CCO at Moomoo
Moomoo uses artificial intelligence to offer an investing
platform for both beginners and experienced traders. It provides real-time data
and a range of analytic tools to assist with sharemarket navigation.
“Moomoo’s innovative platform and dedication to customer
success resonate with my own commitment to advancing financial literacy and
market understanding,” McCarthy said.
“I look forward to working with the talented team at Moomoo
to drive growth and deliver exceptional value to our clients in Australia.”
Meanwhile, Moomoo
has launched its online brokerage service in Japan as of September 19,
2023, offering access to 7,000 US stocks and ETFs, as reported by Finance Magnates. The platform
provides advanced tools like Capital Flow Overview and Institutional Tracker
and features 24-hour trading for 301 US stocks and ETFs.
This move aligns with Japan's shift from traditional to
digital trading, where electronic FX trading makes up 60% of the market,
compared to 76% in other regions. Moomoo debuted in Japan in October 2022.
