RoboMarkets, a Germany-based multi-asset broker, has expanded its equities offering by adding access to more than 1,400 stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) traded on Xetra, Deutsche Börse’s flagship electronic trading platform.

The move is the latest step in the company’s deliberate pivot away from FX and CFDs.

What Xetra Offers

According to Denis Kiselev, Chief Product Officer at RoboMarkets, the expansion supports the company’s ambition to make global markets “accessible, efficient and intelligent”.

Xetra accounts for more than 90% of on-exchange equity trading in Germany and is one of Europe’s leading ETF venues.

The newly available instruments span a wide range of sectors, from clean energy to artificial intelligence, including German and European blue chips and growth stocks, as well as index-tracking, sectoral and thematic ETFs.

“Clients can now explore new investment opportunities across Europe, diversify their portfolios with thematic strategies and trade with full transparency,” Kiselev mentioned.

A Strategic Pivot

The latest addition builds on a series of recent expansions. In April 2025, RoboMarkets added around 1,160 stocks and ETFs to its proprietary R StocksTrader platform. Five months earlier, it had introduced more than 1,300 US-listed equities and ETFs, covering technology, finance, energy, healthcare and biotechnology.

The additions underscore a clear strategic direction formalised in 2024, when RoboMarkets decided to shift its European business model away from FX and CFDs towards equities.

As part of the transition, the Group rebranded and restructured its Cyprus-regulated entity to operate only as an institutional broker. However, the Group is still offering retail CFDs under the legacy RoboForex brand from its offshore base in Belize.

By 2025, that arm had been refocused on institutional clients only, while retail activity was consolidated within its BaFin-supervised German operation, offering exclusively bonds, stocks and ETFs.

The change mirrors a broader trend among European brokers following the European Securities and Markets Authority’s 2018 intervention in the retail CFD market. Tighter leverage caps and marketing restrictions made the segment less attractive, prompting firms either to move upmarket or to diversify into non-CFD products.

Looking into MENA

RoboMarkets is also looking beyond Europe. It has recently secured a Category 1 licence from Dubai’s Securities and Commodities Authority, allowing it to onboard clients, hold assets and execute trades locally in the United Arab Emirates. Regulatory filings show that the firm has appointed Karine Ugarte as a local executive; her LinkedIn profile suggests she took on the role of CEO of RoboMarkets MENA in May 2025.
