China's unique market has created barriers to entry, though certain industry players have managed to thrive.
Bloomberg
The Chinese market is one of the most misunderstood and hardest for brokers to enter. Given several challenges inherent to the region, the demand for on-the-ground solutions that can better cater towards Chinese clientele is instrumental. Localization remains a pain point for brokers, remaining a particular issue in the context of China.
However, RootAnt has solidified itself as a key player in China, focusing on user experience through its diverse product suite. To date, the group remains one of the only companies to help overseas financial institutions localize in Asia, namely China.
RootAnt also has gone to tremendous lengths to improve investors’ overall experience. In particular, its platform is a deep suite of fully integrated, back-end, middleware and front-end services and applications, connecting with APIs.
Finance Magnates spoke with Lincoln Yin, Founder and CEO of RootAnt, who outlines the group’s efforts in the Chinese market as well as the unique elements the country has relative to the broader market.
Lincoln Yin, Founder & CEO RootAnt
How do the latest developments by the Chinese government’s approach towards brokers affect the market?
It is obvious that not only the Chinese government, but also the global regulatory environment is going to be tightened. Specifically in China, there are more new brokers emerging this year. Some of them have unfortunately harmed the interest of traders however.
Moreover, there were some sorts of shakeup in the industry and several developments this year – what I believe is that there is an inevitable trend towards increasing the number of individuals looking for overseas investment opportunities. As such, the brokers who could really benefit and stand on the same side with the traders will survive and grow.
What do global brokers need to understand better about Chinese traders?
All of these solutions were designed specifically for the Chinese market’s user habit, which is very different with other markets. Nowhere is this truer than through the reliance on WeChat and WhatsApp.
Localization is also quite a big challenge for global brokers as the Internet giants such as Alibaba, Tencent, and others are also approaching securities trading. Collectively these augment the level of user experience for individuals even more. Consequently, the traders of global brokers will not take bad user experiences for granted nor tolerate it.
Asia, and notably the Chinese market is now the most important market for global brokers, however they are far from ready for localization and need to catch up with the intense competition. For our part, RootAnt is exactly the company who can help brokers with this challenge.
What are the major drivers for growth in Asia today?
For Asia, especially China market, traders here are keen to take risks to make a fortune. Additionally, more people are getting to know more about overseas instruments and be interested in experimenting. This trend drives the growth in Asia market for global brokers.
The trading platforms market is quite saturated, with MetaQuotes and other international players. How do you stand out?
First of all, when you take a glance at MT4/MT5 or other international platforms, none of them align with Chinese user habits, which is tremendously unique relative to worldwide markets.
Just download WeChat, Weibo and Alipay, and compare with WhatsApp, Twitter and Paypal. Our trading platform is born with the design with the Chinese user habit in mind and with improved user experience. However, our trading platform could also connect with MT4/MT5 with accounts and APIs. Of course, it also could connect with our clients’ own back-end APIs. These advantages make us very unique in this market.
And the trading platform is also compatible with our CRM/Account portal and IB system, which make the process from acquiring to retention much more streamlined.
Relationships of Chinese IBs and global brokers are crucial, but often go sour. What can each side do to foster a healthier relationship?
The value of benefiting each side is the foundation for this multi-lateral relationship –transparency is also the key. Our IB system also has a mobile version, which brings the most transparency from brokers towards IBs.
These also check the information and data in real-time. What’s more, the brokers are able to provide more support for IBs, especially tools. Our IB system is integrated with QR-code, which provides the IBs the easiest way to invite new traders to onboarding/register process.
Where can Fintech make the largest impact in China?
What we believe and the opportunity we are approaching is that Fintech should provide global brokers with localized platform/applications and solutions to increase the ratio of conversion and retention, whereby lowering the risk. Our KYC API aggregator helps brokers with real-time trader identity and credit data verification as well as anti-fraud measures.
RootAnt is a unique name for a brand. What does it stand for?
The reason that the company is named RootAnt is that we always think and act from the root, which is how we create value for our clients. Moreover, we take each single effort we take as a tiny ant, but the faith we hold is that a group of ants in the collective are huge. Ultimately, we always look for cooperation and our journey is one that is long-term – the accumulated effort will be truly amazing.

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.
