FTMO completes its acquisition of OANDA
FTMO closed its acquisition of the regulated broker OANDA on 2 December 2025 — after roughly eight months and sign-off from five regulators — giving the prop firm a global, licensed brokerage arm (OANDA is licensed across eight markets).
What happened
On 2 December 2025, FTMO completed its acquisition of OANDA from CVC Funds. Per the official announcement, closing required approval from five regulators over about eight months. OANDA brings regulated entities and licences across eight major markets (New York, Toronto, London, Warsaw, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney).
Why it matters
This is one of the clearest signs of the prop sector “growing up”: a major prop firm buying a regulated, Tier-1-licensed broker rather than operating purely as a challenge provider. For traders it points toward more regulated infrastructure behind the funded-account model. As always, it doesn’t change FTMO’s evaluation terms on its own — judge the FTMO offering on its actual rules and payout record, and read why regulation is closing in on the sector.
