FXTM Announces Strategic Expansion Across the Middle East and Asia, Including UAE License Upgrade

FXTM (ForexTime) has announced a series of strategic initiatives aimed at expanding its presence in high-growth markets across the Middle East and Asia. The moves include a regulatory license upgrade in the United Arab Emirates, a new partnership in Indonesia, and the voluntary return of its UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) license.

In the UAE, FXTM is upgrading its authorization with the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) from a Category 5 to a Category 1 license. This upgrade significantly broadens the scope of regulated activities the broker can offer in the region, enabling a wider range of investment and trading services to clients.

In Asia, FXTM has formed a strategic partnership with Invetra (PT INVETRA TEKNOLOGI BERJANGKA), a brokerage firm fully licensed and regulated by Indonesia’s BAPPEBTI. Under the collaboration, Invetra will offer locally regulated trading services powered by FXTM’s proprietary multi-asset technology stack. This model gives Indonesian clients access to global-standard tools and execution capabilities while remaining fully compliant with local regulatory frameworks.

As part of a global realignment of strategic priorities, FXTM has voluntarily begun the process to return its FCA license. Following a comprehensive internal review, the company concluded that the UK retail market is no longer a core growth focus. The decision allows FXTM to allocate resources more sharply toward regions such as the Middle East and Asia, where it sees significant long-term opportunity and greater alignment with its product-led business model.

FXTM continues to position itself as a globally connected, regionally embedded broker, offering transparency, regulatory strength, and advanced technology to clients worldwide.
