FNG Exclusive… It looks like there’s a new entrant in the multi-asset trading platform business.

FNG has learned that Cyprus based broker technology startup Fintake has gone live with its first product, called Helio.

Founded by former Pepperstone engineering executive Ahmad Said, Fintake was established in 2024. And after 18 months of focused development, Helio is now available to early partners. Helio is described as a cloud-native trading platform built for multi-asset margin and CFD brokers operating in always-on markets.

Addressing the Infrastructure Gap

Fintake stated that brokerages today are under pressure from both sides. Traders expect seamless, 24/7 access across asset classes, while regulators demand higher standards for resilience and operational continuity. At the same time, many platforms still rely on legacy architectures that limit speed, flexibility, and reliability.

• Markets are increasingly continuous, particularly in crypto and tokenized assets.
• Regulations such as DORA require demonstrable resilience.
• AI is becoming central to operations, from risk to support.
• Product teams need to ship faster without disrupting trading.

According to Fintake, existing infrastructure was not built for this environment.

Introducing Helio

Helio is Fintake’s answer to these challenges. It is built from the ground up as a distributed, cloud-native platform for multi-asset margin and CFD trading, with crypto spot functionality on the roadmap.

Key capabilities

Active/Active Multi-Region Architecture

Helio runs across multiple regions simultaneously, with no single point of failure. Trading continues uninterrupted even during regional issues or deployments.

Zero-Downtime Deployments

Updates can be rolled out live without interrupting trading sessions. This allows teams to iterate quickly without operational risk.

Resilience and Compliance Readiness

Observability, failover, and recovery capabilities are built into the platform, helping brokers meet evolving regulatory expectations such as DORA.

AI-Ready Infrastructure

Helio integrates with modern AI systems, including tools like Claude and ChatGPT, enabling automation across operations, risk management, and client support.

API-First, Front-End Flexible

The platform ships with its own front-ends. Brokers can integrate their own interfaces and move at their own pace.

Built for Multi-Asset Growth

Helio is designed for FX/CFD trading across asset classes, with crypto spot trading planned as a natural extension.

FNG spoke with Fintake founder Ahmad Said, who explained,

“When we were running platforms at scale, we kept hitting the same wall. You’d want to ship something and be told to wait for Saturday’s maintenance window. You’d build a new feature or integrate a third party, and the infrastructure would let you down before your work ever reached a client. That’s what made us build Helio.

“Crypto and tokenised assets have made markets genuinely 24/7, and that changes everything. Resilience isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s table stakes. If your platform can’t guarantee continuous uptime across regions, you’re not built for where this industry is heading.

“AI tooling has accelerated how fast product teams can build.  Product teams need to ship fast. Weekly & Daily, not quarterly. That only works when your infrastructure supports zero-downtime deployments and doesn’t force you to choose between velocity and stability.

“And AI is no longer optional. Brokers who aren’t building it into their operations will fall behind, and their clients will demand it. That’s why Helio is API-first at its core. It’s built for AI agents, teams, and traders as equal participants.

“Helio gives brokers the reliability, flexibility, and speed they need for modern markets, and the architecture for what’s coming next.”

What’s Next

Fintake said that the launch of Helio marks the first step in a broader roadmap. In progress and upcoming developments include:

• Integration with a major global social trading network (to be released shortly).
• Access to on-chain liquidity through Helio’s infrastructure.
• A re-engineered web and mobile trading experience for modern users.
• Expansion into crypto spot trading.

Availability

Helio is now available to selected brokers and trading firms. Fintake is currently onboarding early partners.
