ActivTrades marks its 25th anniversary, having grown from a single office founded in 2001 into a globally recognised multi-asset broker serving traders in over 140 countries. Over that period the company has received more than 75 international awards and expanded its platform offering to include MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and TradingView apart from its native platform ActivTrader.
When ActivTrades was founded, online trading was largely inaccessible to retail investors. Platforms were limited, market access was restricted, and the tools available to everyday traders bore little resemblance to those used by professionals. The company set out to change that – and the 25th anniversary is both a reflection on that journey and a marker of where it is heading next.
“We built this company on the belief that individual traders should have access to the same quality of markets, technology, tools and service traditionally available to professionals. Twenty-five years in, that belief has never been more relevant.”
– Alex Pusco, CEO, ActivTrades
From its early days, ActivTrades focused on providing retail traders with the same quality of market access typically associated with professional desks – fast execution, intuitive platforms, and a broad range of instruments. ActivTrader, the company’s proprietary platform, was built around a clear principle: give traders powerful tools without unnecessary complexity. That focus on technology infrastructure – from market data feeds to execution standards – has remained central to the company’s development throughout its 25 years.
ActivTrades is authorised and regulated by multiple jurisdictions - FCA, SCB, CMVM, FSC, BACEN and CVM. This structure supports the company’s ability to serve clients in a range of markets, within a framework designed to uphold consistent client protection standards. For traders, this means their funds are protected and their broker operates under rigorous regulatory oversight.
To mark the occasion, ActivTrades has unveiled a commemorative update to its logo, featuring a 25th-anniversary ribbon alongside its established visual identity. The company has also celebrated the milestone with a major anniversary event, bringing together colleagues from across its international network to recognise the people and teams behind ActivTrades’ growth over the past 25 years.
The retail trading landscape continues to evolve rapidly, and ActivTrades is committed to evolving with it. The 25th anniversary marks a moment of reflection and renewed focus – and the company remains committed to developing its platforms and expanding access to global markets for the traders it serves.
