In the crypto space, Coinbase is set to debut on the S&P 500 index this month.
Meanwhile, CFD broker Capital.com ended the first three months of 2025 with an 11% increase in client trading volume from the previous quarter.
iForex is pursuing an IPO on the London Stock Exchange after profits dropped by 75% in two years.
"What’s good for the trader, what’s profitable for the broker"
In our weekly roundup, we start with market analysis. The brokerage industry has long been dominated by opaque pricing, aggressive marketing, and layered middlemen.
Tajinder Virk, the CEO and co-founder of Finvasia Group, shared some insight with FinanceMagnates.com, saying he believes that “the job of a
broker is to give you clean access to the market, not bombard you with tools
you don’t understand.”

Virk also pointed out the “fundamental disconnect between what’s good for the trader and what’s profitable for the broker. We’re here to reset that.” He wanted to “to build was truly zero-cost—no spreads, no payment-for-order-flow, no hidden markups,” and succeeded to do so with his platform Shoonya, which means “zero” in Sanskrit.
eToro and iFOREX IPOs
In a story that dominated headlines this week, Israeli fintech giant eToro is now a public company. The much-anticipated public listing made huge sums of money for early investors.
One of them is Spark Capital, which scored a massive $530 million gain as trading platform eToro (NASDAQ: ETOR) made a spectacular entrance into public markets on Wednesday.
Ahead of the listing, eToro increased the price of its initial public offering (IPO) to $52 per share. The Israeli company has also decided to offer about 12 million shares in the public offering, up from the earlier plan of 10 million.

iForex has announced plans now to list on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), seeking to reverse a troubling financial slide. The company is seeking admission to the LSE with a proposed capital raise of around £5 million.
Interestingly, as Britain’s IPO drought drags on, the Treasury is trying to charm Revolut, Monzo, and other fintech darlings into listing in London instead of flying the fintech coop.
The court also approved a sanctions motion against the regulator. The sanctions resulted from a recommendation by Special Master Jose L. Linares, who urged the court to dismiss the case with prejudice and impose penalties on the CFTC.

In a dramatic twist, the CFTC's lead attorney, Ashley Burden, earlier admitted that he was “careless and sloppy” during the investigation into its lawsuit against the proprietary trading platform My Forex Funds and its CEO, Murtuza Kazmi, according to recent court filings by both the regulator and the prop trading firm.
This week in numbers: Capital.com, IG Group, VT Markets, and Trading 212 UK
Capital.com, a provider of contracts for differences (CFDs) trading services, ended the first three months of 2025 with $656 billion in client trading volumes, an 11% increase from the previous quarter. Of the total trading volume, 53 per cent came from clients in the Middle East, followed by 24 per cent from European traders.
As highlighted by Christoforus Soutzis, CEO of Capital.com Europe, the rise in trading activity between January and March was “driven by increased market volatility, macroeconomic uncertainty, and renewed interest in key markets like the Nasdaq 100 Index and gold.”
Also doing great, IG Group (LON: IGG) expects to close the ongoing fiscal year 2025 with revenue and adjusted profit that “meet or slightly exceed the upper end of the current range” of market expectations.

Meanwhile, VT Markets, which offers trading services with CFDs, handled $720 billion in trading volume in April 2025, marking its “strongest-ever” monthly figure. The increase in trading demand came amid an industry-wide trend, as trading platforms benefited from tariff-driven volatility.
In the UK, Trading 212, a retail broker, more than doubled its advertising and marketing expenses in 2024, spending over £39.5 million. In the previous year, the company spent £18 million on the same, meaning there was a year-over-year increase of about 120 per cent.
Coinbase to debut on S&P 500
In the crypto space, Coinbase plans to join the S&P 500 index this month. The index tracks the largest 500 publicly listed companies in the US across various sectors, including finance, tech, healthcare, and more. Coinbase will be listed under the financials sector.
Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to join the S&P 500.
This milestone represents what the true believers, from retail investors to institutional investors to our employees and partners, knew all along.
The cryptocurrency exchange will replace Discover Financial Services, which is being acquired by Capital One. Recently, it agreed to acquire the crypto options platform Deribit in a $2.9 billion deal.
And even as the US crypto exchange plans expansion, security remains a challenge, a factor cutting across the industry. A cyberattack that exploited insider access this week, stole sensitive customer data and issued a $20 million ransom demand, which Coinbase refuses to pay.
In a move that has left economists and policy analysts scratching their heads, President Trump has now announced a "total reset" in trade relations with China following discussions in Geneva.

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.
