Tiger Brokers
After solid results for Q1 2023, UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: TIGR), a prominent online brokerage firm and the Tiger Brokers trading brand operator, presented nearly identical revenues for Q2. The results may have been influenced, among other factors, by the April launch of TigerGPT, the industry's first AI investment assistant.

expansion and a focus on fintech innovation. The company's revenue for the

revenues totaled $66.3 million. Additionally, UP Fintech's non-GAAP profit
surged to $15.3 million, setting a two-year record high.
"The
second quarter marked a period of gradual recovery in the overall market, and
UP Fintech's performance mirrored this trend," Wu Tianhua, the CEO and Founder
of UP Fintech, commented. "Our revenue remained stable and showed
encouraging improvement, culminating in a double-digit growth year-over-year.
The non-GAAP net profit's significant growth, surpassing the total of the

TigerGPT and Auto-Invest by
UP Fintech
In April,
the company introduced TigerGPT as the industry's first AI trading assistant,
an alternative to the AI chatbot ChatGPT. According to information shared by
Tiger Brokers with Finance Magnates, 11,000 traders achieved an accuracy
level of 81% four months after the service's launch during the tool's testing
phase. Now, the application is available to a broader audience.
Henry Toh,
the CFO at Tiger Brokers (Singapore), stated that the company recognizes AI's
vital role in the investment sector and developed TigerGPT to revolutionize the
investor experience on a larger scale. As reported by Finance Magnates, ChatGPT has garnered widespread praise in recent times for its performance.
In related
news, Tiger Brokers has rolled out an automatic investment plan (AIP) for Hong
Kong stocks via its main platform, Tiger Trade. This feature allows global
investors to trade weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, starting from a minimum of
HKD 500. The new addition aims to help investors navigate market volatility and
complements the existing AIP for U.S. stocks.
"As
for product innovation, the second quarter saw the significant launch of our
Hong Kong stock AIP (automatic investment plan). This positions Tiger Trade as
one of the few platforms offering the AIP feature in both Hong Kong and U.S.
stocks. By enabling small-amount investors to access high-priced stocks of
premium companies, we have further democratized investment opportunities and
broadened our reach," Tianhua concluded.
However,
the company faced a minor setback in Q2 when the New Zealand Financial Markets
Authority fined them $900,000 for violating the Anti-Money Laundering and
Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Act.

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.

We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
