Fuze Traders, a prop trading platform based in Switzerland, is set to merge with Labuan-regulated Kubera Markets, which operates as a contracts for differences (CFDs) broker, FinanceMagnates.com has learned.
All shareholders of both entities will become shareholders in the merged company, which will continue to operate under the name Kubera Markets. The entire team at Fuze Traders will also join Kubera Markets.
“This is a full merger of what were two separate businesses,” Brian Griffin, CEO of Fuze Traders, explained, adding that the Fuze Traders brand “will be retired” following the merger. Both prop trading and CFDs brokerage services will be offered under the Kubera Markets brand.

“Kubera Markets is a regulated and registered name; to change Kubera to Fuze would take some time for regulatory approval,” Griffin explained, justifying the decision to retire the Fuze brand.
The merger will allow any client of Kubera Markets to purchase prop trading challenges directly from the brokerage platform.
“Prop firms, by their very nature, tend to be sales and marketing focused,” Griffin added. “Thus, we fit well with Kubera Markets, which historically was a wholesale/B2B CFD provider.”

A Prop Brand Built by Two Industry Veterans
Griffin is a retail trading industry veteran who spent the initial decade of his career at CMC Markets, before it became a public company. He later joined FXCM as Head of Trading and spent about six years there, before holding executive roles at other companies.
Both Griffin and Nettles are set to continue their leadership roles at Kubera Markets following the merger.

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.
