FTMO announced that traders in India can now access its platform, marking a shift from the company’s previous policy that listed the country as a restricted region. The update was shared through FTMO’s social channels and comes at a time when India has become one of the largest traffic sources for prop firms, driven by rising interest among younger traders engaging with evaluation programs and educational content.
The announcement aligns with broader activity from FTMO. Earlier this week, the company completed its acquisition of multi-asset broker OANDA, receiving final regulatory approval on December 1, 2025. With both developments occurring within days of each other, FTMO is entering a period of expanded operational reach and increased international presence.
Rising Interest in India’s Prop Trading Market
India has become a key region for many prop firms. The country generates strong online engagement, especially from traders aged 18–30. Firms such as FundedNext, FundingPips and The5ers report consistent growth in traffic from India. Most of this interest focuses on low-cost evaluations and accessible educational material.
Companies that operate in India adjust their communication strategies to align with local regulatory expectations. SEBI and RBI influence how trading-related services are presented online, so firms use careful language in their messaging.
FTMO has not yet shared details regarding any India-specific adjustments. More information is expected as the rollout continues.
