Abstract:Forex Capital Markets Limited, the UK subsidiary of the FXCM Group, has changed its name to Stratos Markets Limited.
Forex Capital Markets Limited, the UK-based subsidiary of the FXCM Group, recently underwent a significant rebranding effort and is now officially known as Stratos Markets Limited. This change, which occurred on September 10th, aligns with a broader strategy by FXCM Group to rename its European subsidiaries.
The transformation from Forex Capital Markets Limited to Stratos Markets Limited follows a similar renaming process for FXCM's Cyprus-based entity, which is now Stratos Europe Ltd. These changes are part of FXCM Group's strategic rebranding initiatives.
FXCM Group has an interesting history, tracing its origins back to 1999 in New York. The company emerged from the now-defunct Global Brokerage Inc., which filed for bankruptcy in 2017.
As of September 10th, the UK company registry officially reflects the name change from Forex Capital Markets Limited to Stratos Markets Limited. This update is also visible on the FXCM UK website, where Stratos Markets Limited is now the designated entity responsible for providing trading services.
However, it's important to note that, as of the last available information, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registry still lists the company under its previous name, along with its license number, which is 217689.
The FXCM UK website has been updated to include the following information:
“Stratos Markets Limited is an operating subsidiary within the FXCM group of companies (collectively, the ”FXCM Group“). All references on this site to ”FXCM refer to the FXCM Group.
Stratos Markets Limited is authorized and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority. Registration number 217689. Registered in England and Wales with Companies House company number 04072877.
This rebranding signifies a new chapter for the company and its continued commitment to providing trading services under the Stratos Markets Limited banner.

In recent years, a new breed of retailer-focused trading firms has emerged: proprietary (prop) trading outfits that recruit individual traders to trade the firm’s capital under structured rules. Boasting low entry costs, clear risk parameters, and profit-sharing incentives, these prop firms are rapidly winning over retail traders, many of whom previously traded Contracts for Difference (CFDs) with established online brokers. As prop trading revenues accelerate, a key question arises: Are CFD brokers losing business to prop firms?
The yen's breakout above the 140 mark has caught global attention, and the reasons behind it are more than technical.
Malaysia’s police are stepping up their investigation into the MBI investment scam, a multi-billion ringgit fraud that has dragged on for nearly a decade.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has imposed a $300,000 fine on SpeedRoute LLC for a series of supervisory, risk management, and anti-money laundering (AML) program deficiencies spanning from 2017 to the present. Of this amount, $75,000 is payable to FINRA, with the remainder offset by SpeedRoute’s limited ability to pay. In addition to the monetary penalty, SpeedRoute has been censured and ordered to overhaul its compliance framework, including enhancing its written supervisory procedures (WSPs) for market access controls and strengthening its AML program.
