LIMASSOL, Cyprus:
Online trading platform iFOREX has officially been admitted to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol IFRX, with a market valuation of £43.3 million. The listing marks a significant corporate milestone for the fintech firm as it seeks to expand its global footprint and strengthen its position in the retail trading sector.
The company, which has operated for nearly three decades, said the move to a public listing reflects its long-term strategy of growth, innovation, and international expansion. Founded in the mid-1990s, iFOREX has built its operations around proprietary trading technology and structured risk management practices aimed at sustaining profitability in competitive financial markets.
Through its in-house developed online and mobile trading platforms, iFOREX provides retail clients access to more than 870 financial instruments. These include foreign exchange pairs, commodities, global indices, publicly traded stocks, cryptocurrencies, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The company’s technology infrastructure is designed to offer multi-asset trading capabilities while maintaining operational efficiency and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.
Market analysts note that a Main Market listing on the London Stock Exchange typically enhances corporate visibility, strengthens governance standards, and broadens access to institutional and retail investors. For iFOREX, the public debut is expected to facilitate capital market access that could support future investment in technology development, product diversification, and geographic expansion.
Chief Executive Officer Itai Sadeh described the admission as a “proud moment” for the company, emphasizing its ambition to become a leading global fintech player. He stated that iFOREX intends to leverage its proprietary systems and established international presence to pursue long-term, sustainable value creation for both clients and shareholders.
The listing comes amid continued growth in global retail trading participation, driven by increased digital adoption, mobile accessibility, and interest in diversified financial products. Industry observers highlight that fintech firms entering public markets often aim to strengthen credibility and transparency while positioning themselves to compete with established brokerage and trading service providers.
With its shares now trading under IFRX, iFOREX joins some financial technology companies seeking to scale operations through public market participation. The company indicated that it remains focused on platform innovation, disciplined risk management, and expanding access to financial markets for retail traders worldwide.
