It will onboard traders globally without any jurisdictional restrictions.
Darwinex recently shared a peek into the upcoming launch of a subscription-based trading platform, Darwinex Zero. The brokerage has recently shared some details on the new platform with Finance Magnates that will allow traders to execute trades on the live market without risking any capital.
Darwinex to Launch Darwinex Zero
Darwinex Zero is targeted toward novice traders who have started to get into trading and want to test their strategies in the live markets. Additionally, the company is aiming at traders who aspire to be asset managers but localized in jurisdictions without the traditional services of Darwinex.
Juan Colón, CEO of Darwinex
"Darwinex Zero makes the Darwinex Classic offering to a broader audience and reaches prospective talent from its first trade from anywhere in the world and without the need for a brokerage account," the CEO of Darwinex, Juan Colón, told Finance Magnates.
The new service will allow traders globally to trade and access seed and investor capital via a virtual trading account, without risking their own capital. However, traders must pay a monthly subscription to access the new platform.
The platform will operate very much like a prop trading platform: traders will receive access to seed capital from Darwinex, which is proprietary money of the broker and third-party investor capital.
"We will offer the same capital introduction service as we do via our existing regulated Darwinex service. Only this time, instead of depositing money and trading a live account, users will subscribe to the service paying a monthly fee and trade virtual – as opposed to demo – accounts," a Darwinex spokesperson explained to Finance Magnates.
"While both virtual and demo accounts are zero risk for the user, i.e., they can't lose their capital, the difference resides in the fact that a virtual account replicates real market conditions, which is essential for Darwinex and third-party investors to be able to allocate capital to strategies via their associated DARWINs. These strategies will be battle-tested."
The DARWIN investable indices are commercialized to third-party inventors via the Darwinex asset manager arm.
Moreover, the brokerage platform will share 15 percent of the profits generated on seed and investor capital, with the traders labeling it as performance fees.
A Service Without Boundaries
Darwinex was founded in 2012 by three entrepreneurs, Juan Colón, Javier Colón, and Miguel Ángel González. The broker is headquartered in the United Kingdom and operates with the authorization of the country's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Last year, it gained an operating license from the regulator in Spain that allows it to operate in the European Economic Area (EEA).
The services under Darwinex Zero will not be constrained by jurisdictional boundaries. "This is a worldwide service, so traders from Europe, USA, Japan, or Canada, to name a few, will be able to trade with Darwinex Zero," the spokesperson of the broker added.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.
