Brokers' Updates
Verified reporting on brokers, trading platforms, regulation and market products — without price forecasts or trading signals.
In a report on regional security tensions, XM said it was monitoring developments across the UAE and wider region. Co-CEO Menelaos Menelaou stated that trading operations remained stable and that clients would retain access to accounts, funds and support; this is a company continuity statement rather than an independently audited uptime finding.

XM obtained a Kenyan Capital Markets Authority licence and launched a local route for serving Kenyan clients under domestic oversight. The report places the approval within XM's broader African expansion and distinguishes it from the more limited Category 5 promotional licence previously obtained in the UAE.

A US forex-deposit analysis reports that Trading.com, part of the Trading Point group that also operates XM, had grown customer obligations 27% year over year from December 2024. It also notes Trading.com's US retail-forex-dealer approval; the figures describe the sister brand, not XM entities.

An analysis of extreme gold volatility quotes XM co-CEO Menelaos Menelaou on abnormal market-opening moves, server capacity and exposure management. XM said diversified volumes helped it manage changes in net exposure, while wider liquidity-provider spreads, higher margin requirements and lower leverage challenged hedged brokers generally.

An industry hiring analysis estimated that XM had roughly 90 open roles, placing it among the largest recruiters in the dataset of major CFD and forex firms. The number came from an external job-posting analysis and is a point-in-time vacancy estimate, not XM's total headcount.

An India market analysis identifies XM among offshore CFD brokers that are not locally regulated and reports that the India share of visits to XM's homepage rose to about 70% in December from roughly 40% a few months earlier. The traffic estimate is contextual evidence, not client-count or revenue data.

A multi-asset comparison includes an extended XM profile alongside Exness, Axi, Pepperstone and Saxo. It discusses XM's market range, pricing structure, education and access through mainstream MetaTrader platforms; product range, crypto availability and costs vary by legal entity and should be checked against current terms.

A Dubai licensing analysis reports XM's view that the lower-scope Category 5 permission fits its current business model while leaving open a future Category 1 application. The article explains that Category 5 supports marketing and introductions, whereas Category 1 requires much more capital and permits fuller local brokerage activity.

XM confirmed that it had begun using its UAE SCA Category 5 approval and introduced an Arabic- and English-language local website. Category 5 generally supports marketing, promotion and client introductions; it should not be read as the same permission as locally holding client money or executing trades under a full brokerage licence.

A gold-broker comparison gives XM a dedicated entry and describes MT4/MT5 access, a low stated entry deposit, negative-balance protection and gold CFD availability. Spread, leverage, protection and minimum-deposit claims are entity- and date-sensitive and require current verification before publication.

A UAE broker comparison includes a dedicated XM profile covering stated deposit requirements, instrument range, Islamic-account access, multilingual support and MT4/MT5. These are editorial comparison fields, and their current availability can differ across XM entities and UAE client categories.
Finance Magnates
Finance Magnates reported that XM received a Dubai SCA Category 5 licence through the locally formed XM Financial Products Promotion entity and established an office in Business Bay. The licence allows promotion and client introductions but does not by itself authorize local custody of client funds or trade execution.
