SpotOption’ s Founder, Pini Peter and Michael Greenberg Founder and CEO of Forex Magnates
Pini Peter, Founder of SpotOption spoke about the awards, he says; "We are more than honoured to receive this recognition of our hard work from Forex Magnates and the panel of judges. The Binary Options industry has come a long way, and it was quite the experience watching and being a part of the history in the making. We will continue striving to bring the industry the most unique and sophisticated technology, and the regulatory compliance that it deserves. I'd also like to thank all of our labels/partners that have believed in us, and worked together with us to bring them to the top. As always, excellence is a team effort, and SpotOption is fortunate to be surrounded by such a great team."
