Trade Nation to Acquire FXCM's UK Client Book
Trade Nation, an FCA-regulated spread betting and CFD provider, has agreed to acquire the UK client book of Stratos Markets Limited (operating as FXCM in the UK). The transfer is expected to be completed by late November 2026. This acquisition aims to provide a seamless transition for clients while maintaining service quality and transparency. The move strengthens Trade Nation's position in its home market, bringing on board experienced traders from FXCM’s significant client base. Both companies have emphasized the importance of protecting clients during this process. Jon Noble, CEO of Trade Nation, highlighted that these clients align with their target audience—experienced individuals seeking competitive pricing and reliable service. The acquisition reflects a broader trend in the evolving UK retail trading market where firms are focusing on specialized offerings like spread betting and CFDs. Trade Nation has continued to invest in its platform and services throughout 2026, earning recognition as Best Forex and CFD Broker UK at the TradingView Broker Awards.
