RoboMarkets’ Main European Website Goes Dark as Restructuring Continues

Tuesday, 03/03/2026 | 09:53 GMT by Tanya Chepkova
  • RoboMarkets’ main EU site is offline as the broker continues shifting from CFDs toward stock trading in Germany.
  • Recent executive exits and a Dubai license add to signs of a broader restructuring beyond Europe.

RoboMarkets has taken its primary European website, robomarkets.com, offline. The site now displays only a logo and a 'coming soon' message as the group continues adjusting its European business model.

This domain, previously the main portal for European operations, no longer provides client access. This shift follows a broader restructuring process that began more than a year ago and has directly impacted the accessibility of RoboMarkets’ European services.

A Shift in Strategy

In late 2024, the RoboMarkets group announced it would discontinue retail forex and CFD offerings in Europe and focus on stock trading for European clients.

Under that plan, RoboMarkets Deutschland GmbH, regulated by the German BaFin, became the main vehicle for serving European retail stock traders. Its website, robomarkets.de, remains operational.

In January 2026, the company expanded its equities offering by adding access to more than 1,400 stocks and ETFs listed on Xetra, Deutsche Börse’s electronic trading platform reinforcing its pivot toward exchange-traded instruments.

Meanwhile, RoboMarkets Ltd, regulated by CySEC in Cyprus, planned to concentrate on institutional services.

Recent Developments

The status of the .com site adds a new element to that transition. In recent months, the group has also seen several senior departures, including Vanyo Walter, who led the German stockbroking push, and Konstantin Rashap, who stepped down as Chief Business Officer of the CySEC-regulated entity in January 2026.

Separately, the company secured a Category 1 license from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) in Dubai in late 2025, opening the door to activity in the Middle East.

Together, the website suspension, executive changes, and expansion outside Europe indicate the group is reassessing how it structures its regional operations.

However, the group has not made clear how prominently Europe will feature in that setup going forward. At the time of publication, RoboMarkets had not responded to requests for comment regarding the status of its European strategy.

    In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.

Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.

    Executive Interview | Brendan Callan | CEO, TRADU | FMLS:25

    Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner. In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences. We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading. This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
