Capital.com Acquires FxPro's Cyprus Client Book for UAE and UK Expansion
What happened
FxPro has agreed to sell its Cyprus entity’s client book to Capital.com, pending approval from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission. This move is part of FxPro’s strategy to streamline its business structure, as its Cyprus operations account for a relatively small part of its overall business. Capital.com is expanding its services into the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

Why it matters
The transaction reflects FxPro's decision to concentrate investment and resources on international markets outside of Europe. Capital.com's acquisition and planned expansion signal continued financial market activity in the UAE and Cyprus. FxPro will retain its UK Financial Conduct Authority licence and headquarters in the City of London.
