ActivTrades has expanded its international footprint with a new licence in Dubai, reinforcing the Forex and CFD broker’s presence in key global financial markets.
Granted by the Capital Market Authority (CMA), the licence adds Dubai to ActivTrades’ network of regulated operations. It follows the company’s establishment of a new branch in Mauritius earlier this year, reflecting its continued investment in a broader international operating structure.
Strengthening Its Middle East Presence
Founded in 2001, ActivTrades has grown into an international online trading broker with regulated operations in several jurisdictions, including the UK, Portugal, Brazil, The Bahamas and Mauritius.
The new Dubai operation places ActivTrades in one of the Middle East’s leading financial centres, creating closer proximity to regional clients, partners and financial institutions. Dubai’s role as an international hub for financial services also provides access to markets across the Middle East and other regions.
By establishing a regulated local presence, ActivTrades can deepen its engagement with the region while adapting its services and operational approach to local market and regulatory requirements.
“Our new Dubai licence marks an important milestone in the continued expansion of ActivTrades’ international presence. Establishing a regulated operation in Dubai brings us closer to clients and partners in an increasingly important financial market, while strengthening our wider global network.
“Following our expansion in Mauritius, we are continuing to invest in the infrastructure needed to support long-term growth and deliver a consistent trading experience across markets,” said Alex Pusco, CEO at ActivTrades.
The move comes as traders increasingly seek access to a wide range of financial markets, supported by technology and services suited to different strategies and levels of trading experience.
Building on the Mauritius Expansion
The Dubai licence follows ActivTrades’ expansion into Mauritius earlier this year. While the two operations serve different regions, together they extend the company’s international reach and create additional bases for developing local client and partner relationships.
Operating from financial centres with distinct market dynamics and regulatory frameworks also supports ActivTrades’ longer-term growth strategy, enabling the company to develop its presence across a more diversified range of international markets.
Supporting Global Trading Activity
Alongside its geographic expansion, ActivTrades continues to invest in its trading technology and product offering.
The broker provides access to more than 1,000 instruments across multiple asset classes through four platforms:
- ActivTrader
- MetaTrader 4
- MetaTrader 5
- TradingView
ActivTrades has also invested in cloud-based infrastructure intended to support scalable operations, rapid execution and high trading volumes. As market activity increasingly spans time zones and financial centres, access to multi-asset trading and established technology remains important for traders operating in global markets.
Bottom Line
The Dubai licence represents a further step in ActivTrades’ international development. It adds a regulated presence in a strategically important financial centre and strengthens the company’s ability to work more closely with clients and partners throughout the Middle East.
Together with the recent Mauritius expansion and ActivTrades’ existing operations across Europe and other international markets, the new Dubai operation forms part of a wider strategy to build a more diversified global business while maintaining a consistent trading infrastructure and client experience.
