Also making headlines, Saxo Australia changed ownership, Capital.com collaborated with LSEG, and Revolut targeted Europe with new payment options.
And, in a bizarre incident in Cyprus this week, a gunman opened fire at the offices of an investment company in the Ayios Andreas area.
Robinhood expanded UK offering with options trading.
eToro Files for IPO
This week’s top stories include eToro's filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a planned initial public offering (IPO). The IPO is expected to occur once the SEC completes its review of the Registration Statement, which is subject to market conditions and other factors. However, eToro has not set a definitive timeline for when the offering will take place.
This is not eToro’s first attempt to go public. In 2021, the platform planned a $10.4 billion SPAC merger but abandoned the effort due to challenging market conditions. In 2023, eToro raised $250 million at a $3.5 billion valuation, signaling a rebound fuelled by rising equity and cryptocurrency markets.

Saxo Australia Was Sold to a South African Technology Provider
In Australia, Saxo Australia, the country's division of Saxo Bank, changed ownership, as Johannesburg-headquartered DMA acquired a majority stake in it. Announced today (Monday), DMA, a technology provider to financial advisers and wealth managers, will acquire 80.1% of the Australian business, while Denmark’s Saxo Bank will retain 19.9%.
The acquisition came when Saxo Bank itself was looking for potential buyers after a failed attempt to take the company public. The Danish company reportedly received bids from multiple parties but has not confirmed anything yet. The two companies are expected to close the transaction in the second half of 2025, although the financial terms remain unknown.
The agreement will provide Capital.com's users access to LSEG's real-time news feeds, market data, and sentiment analysis tools. The trading platform, which reportedly handles approximately $147 billion in monthly trading volume, will incorporate these features across its existing infrastructure, serving more than 750,000 global traders.
Prop Firm MyFundedFX Rebranded
In the volatile prop trading space, MyFundedFX rebranded as Seacrest Funded. The new name aligns the prop platform with the newly launched forex and contracts for difference (CFD) broker Seacrest Markets, the company mentioned. However, the prop brand is keeping MyFunded Futures intact, offering prop trading services with futures instruments, at least for now.
The latest rebranding indicates the prop firm’s push to align its branding as a broker-backed prop platform. Interestingly, a survey by PipFarm, another prop brand, showed that about 60% of traders trust broker-backed prop trading platforms.
At the same time, Sway Markets, a contract for difference (CFD) broker, is suspending its operations. The company, which has been online since 2021, has “cleaned” all its social media accounts; its website is inaccessible, and its X (formerly Twitter) profile displays “sold.” However, the operations of Sway Funded, a prop trading firm launched less than a year ago under the company's ownership, remain unaffected.
According to the latest PipFarm survey, exclusively seen by Finance Magnates, the recent shifts in the prop trading market last year were driven in part by MetaQuotes. Nearly 70% of all respondents stated that prop firms should be regulated, while only 15% considered it a bad idea. The remaining ones had no opinion on the matter.
CySEC Tightens Oversight
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 's top priorities in 2025 are the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Market in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) on the financial market. With AI reshaping financial markets and the growing influence of online financial promoters (influencers), CySEC is now setting stricter compliance expectations.

Gunman Opens Fire at Limassol Investment Firm: Report
Elsewhere, a quiet night in Limassol turned into a crime scene when a masked gunman fired seven shots at the offices of an investment company in the Ayios Andreas area, CyprusMail and several other local media houses reported. The attack, which took place just after midnight, reportedly shattered a glass window while employees were inside.
Authorities are now on the hunt for the perpetrator, who escaped on a motorcycle. The Limassol police were alerted to the incident at approximately 1:00 a.m. According to the report, witnesses reported that a person dressed in dark clothing and wearing a helmet fired multiple rounds before fleeing the scene.
FXStreet Launched New Trading Institute
"The initial idea was to launch a university to create a four-year Bachelor's degree program, but that would be very hard," Francesc Riverola, the Chairman of International Trading Institute, President and Founder of FXStreet, told Finance Magnates after launching the International Trading Institute.

The institute plans to offer traders a Master’s degree. Although it currently only offers online classes, its ultimate goal is to launch "in-person classes and a four-year Bachelor's degree program."
Revolut Eyes Spain, Europe
Elsewhere, Revolut targeted Spain and Europe with new installment payment options and ambitious European expansions. Revolut, the digital banking powerhouse, has unveiled an installment payment option for its credit customers in Spain, Ireland, and Poland.
This feature allows users to split purchases over €50 into fixed installments, offering lower interest rates than traditional 'revolving' credit cards. The system also allows the customer to decide whether to pay in installments at the end of the month, generating higher interest rates.
Gemini to Offer Crypto Perpetuals
Lastly, in the crypto space, cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, which recently selected Malta as its European hub, received in-principle approval for an Investment firm license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).
Once the license is approved, the exchange can offer regulated options and futures, including contracts for difference (CFD) instruments, throughout the European Economic Area (EEA) under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II).
The other company reaping big from crypto is Robinhood. Its shares jumped by 15.3% after hours on Thursday this week after it posted revenue of $1.01 billion, compared to a consensus estimate of $849.06 million. Its earnings per share at $1.01 were also significantly higher than the expectation of $0.32. The firm has expanded its services in the United Kingdom with options trading.

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. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
