Apex Group acquired a 3% stake in London-listed CFDs broker CMC Markets.
Find out how much the CEOs of leading CFD brokers earn.
Hirose permanently ended retail CFD onboarding outside Japan
IG CEO made $4.5M in FY25
This week’s recap highlights interesting figures in executive
pay in the CFD brokerage sector. IG Group CEO Breon Corcoran became the second-highest-paid chief among London-listed CFD brokers in fiscal 2025,
earning about £3.35 million ($4.46 million).
Comparatively, Plus500 CEO David Zruia topped the list with
$4.97 million, while CMC Markets’ Lord Peter Cruddas received £1.1 million
($1.5 million).
Despite Cruddas’ comparatively lower salary, his nearly 60%
ownership in CMC Markets brought him around £14.5 million ($19.68 million) in
dividends last year.
Plus500 customer deposits jump over 100%
At the same time, Plus500 delivered solid first-half results, with revenue rising 4% year-on-year to $415.1 million despite
challenging market conditions. Net profit inched up to $149.6 million from
$148.8 million.
The London-listed trading platform continued to
diversify beyond its core contracts-for-difference offering, while customer
deposits more than doubled to over $3 billion.
Meanwhile, nearly nine
out of ten contracts for differences trades at Plus500 were made on a
phone or tablet in the first half of 2025, accounting for 89% of the broker’s
OTC revenue. This was well above the industry average of 55.5% for Q2 2025.
Besides the numbers, the company is seeking a licence in Chile, having already established a local entity in the
country.The move followed its entry into the US retail futures
market and the recent acquisition of an OTC Canadian licence.
eToro revenue jumps
Still in a week dominated by earnings reports, eToro posted mixed results in its first earnings release as a public company. Net contribution rose 26% year-on-year in Q2
2025, while net income remained at about $30 million.
Net profit came in at CHF 158.2 million ($196.2 million), up
9.4%. The company raised its full-year pre-tax profit forecast to CHF 365
million ($452.6 million) from CHF 355 million ($440.2 million) and increased
its revenue target to CHF 700 million from CHF 675 million.
In April, the company set a single-day trading record by
processing $56 billion in transactions, supported by high client activity
across its global platforms.
The Hamburg-based company continued to invest in expanding
its “financial superapp” user base, maintaining the growth seen in 2024, when
it posted full-year revenue of EUR 62 million.
Regional banks bet on crypto
Beyond the financial reports, Paul Golden highlighted how crypto has moved further into the
financial mainstream in 2025, with a clearer regulatory environment encouraging
mid-tier and smaller US financial institutions to explore crypto offerings.

Surveys indicated that consumer confidence in regional banks
had recovered from the reputational damage caused by the collapses of First
Republic Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank in 2023.
Executive moves of the week
In our executive roundup, B2C2, the crypto market maker
owned by Japanese conglomerate SBI, expanded its presence in Southeast Asia by
appointing Laura Teo as Singapore Country Head and Head of Sales, APAC.
Equiti Group reshuffled its top ranks, promoting Sartaj
Singh to Chief Technology Officer, Rick Fulton to Chief Risk and Audit Officer,
and Sean Hong to Chief Financial Officer.
Bitcoin, XRP, Ether price action
Early this week, Bitcoin rose 2.84% to $121,625, driven by
strong institutional demand and expectations of a favorable Federal Reserve
policy. The move brought the cryptocurrency close to its all-time high, with
analysts targeting the $140,000 level.
Lord Cruddas, CMC’s founder and CEO, continued to hold over
59% of the company. The filing did not specify the cost, but the market value
of the shares on that date was around £21.66 million.
Hirose permanently ends retail CFD onboarding outside Japan
In our exclusive story, Hirose Financial stopped onboarding new retail clients under its UK- and Labuan-regulated entities. A Companies House filing showed that the UK entity planned to shift its focus to B2B market opportunities.
A notice on Hirose's offshore website homepage
Hirose’s client registration pages for the UK and Labuan
entities stated that retail applications were permanently closed. However, another notice on a separate Hirose website, which
redirected potential clients to offshore platforms, described the suspension as
temporary.
Nvidia and AMD had seen billions in potential revenue vanish
under the US ban on high-performance chip exports to China. Beijing subtly restricted the use of foreign AI hardware, a
move that could reshape the chip market and disadvantage Nvidia and AMD.
Chinese regulators told companies, including Alibaba and
ByteDance, to justify their orders of American-made AI chips, especially for
projects related to government or national security.

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.
