OANDA Highlights Choice, Diversification, Trading Platforms

Rafal Slon, Managing Director of OANDA Australia, said the launch reflected “the growing demand for CFDs” and noted their appeal in allowing traders to “benefit from price fluctuations without owning the underlying assets.” He added that integrating the new share CFDs into OANDA’s platform gives clients “greater choice and valuable diversification opportunities.”

The full suite of tradable instruments is available through the OANDA app and the TradingView platform.

Prop Firm FTMO Enters Brokerage Sector

The expansion comes after OANDA was acquired by FTMO, a proprietary trading firm, from CVC Asia Fund. FTMO had already signalled its intention to enter the brokerage sector by establishing a brokerage unit and appointing Michael Kamerman to lead it. Riana Chaili later joined as Chief Operating Officer of the brokerage division.

The financial terms of the OANDA acquisition were not disclosed. Previously, CVC acquired OANDA in 2018 for a reported valuation of around $162.5 million, according to Finance Magnates.

FTMO, which recently reported strong cash reserves and revenue growth, now oversees OANDA as part of its broader strategy to combine proprietary trading and brokerage operations. The acquisition positions the firm to expand its presence in the global CFD and forex markets, while supporting the rollout of new products such as the Australian share CFD offering.
