FTMO has completed its acquisition of OANDA Global Corporation from CVC Asia Fund IV after receiving five regulatory approvals. The deal was finalized on December 1, with financial terms not disclosed.
Combining prop trading with regulated brokerage operations
The transaction brings together FTMO’s proprietary trading platform and OANDA’s regulated multi-asset brokerage business. OANDA operates across eight jurisdictions, including key markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. The acquisition gives FTMO broader exposure to regulated brokerage infrastructure alongside its established position in proprietary trading services.
According to the announcement, OANDA will continue to operate independently under FTMO’s ownership, and there will be no immediate changes to its current operations. This structure may help preserve business continuity while allowing FTMO to benefit from OANDA’s regulatory footprint and established client-facing systems.
Execution, tools, and product expansion in focus
The companies said the combination is expected to improve execution quality, strengthen data tools, and broaden overall product offerings for traders. For market participants, that points to a strategy centered on enhancing trading infrastructure while expanding access to services across multiple asset classes.
Regulatory compliance remains a central part of the transaction narrative. With OANDA already operating under regulated frameworks in several markets, FTMO indicated that future integration efforts will continue to prioritize compliance. Overall, the acquisition highlights a broader industry trend toward combining trading platform capabilities with licensed brokerage operations to build more comprehensive global trading businesses.
