Czech-based prop trading leader FTMO has officially completed its acquisition of OANDA Global Corporation, one of the most established multi-asset trading groups worldwide. The company secured its final regulatory approval in November and closed the transaction on December 1, 2025. FTMO did not reveal the purchase price, but it confirmed that OANDA will continue operating as an independent business.
This acquisition supports FTMO’s long-term strategy to build a global trading powerhouse. Founders Otakar Šuffner and Marek Vašíček want to combine modern prop trading with a full brokerage infrastructure. Their goal is simple: offer traders a complete ecosystem built around strong technology, transparent processes and a global reach. Because OANDA operates regulated entities in major financial hubs such as New York, London, Toronto, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney, it fits naturally into FTMO’s expansion plan.
OANDA brings almost 30 years of experience in multi-asset trading, market data and analytics. Since 2018, the broker had been under CVC ownership. Now, under FTMO, the brand aims to accelerate growth and deliver more integrated trading experiences.
A Combined Ecosystem That Pushes the Industry Forward
FTMO believes the acquisition strengthens its ability to support traders at every stage. Šuffner explained that the company wants to build a trading group that connects prop trading, brokerage services and advanced tools. Vašíček noted that OANDA’s strong compliance culture and risk management practices will help the group move faster in regulated environments.
OANDA CEO Gavin Bambury also emphasized the importance of this transition. He stated that joining the FTMO ecosystem gives the broker a clear path to faster innovation and a broader product offering.
The transaction involved major advisory firms, including Nomura, Santander, J.P. Morgan, Milbank and Latham & Watkins, highlighting the scale of the deal. With this acquisition, FTMO steps into a new phase, combining one of the strongest prop trading infrastructures with one of the most established global brokers. The result is a unified ecosystem that sets new standards for retail traders and prop firms worldwide.
