FTMO Acquires OANDA to Expand Global Trading Services
OANDA, a global digital platform for active traders, has been acquired by the Czech prop trading firm FTMO Group. CVC Capital Partners, which had owned OANDA since 2018, facilitated the sale through its CVC Asia Fund IV.
Details of the Acquisition
The deal was announced on February 3, 2025. While the terms of the transaction remain undisclosed, it is subject to regulatory approvals.
FTMO intends to operate OANDA as a standalone business after the acquisition. FTMO aims to combine OANDA’s established global platform with its own prop trading services to create a comprehensive trading powerhouse. This strategy will enhance both companies’ capabilities in serving a wider range of clients across financial markets.
