Top FX and CFDs industry news stories this week
JT Prime launched by Raj Sitlani, Jonathan Brewer and Jeff Wilkins. It was just a matter of time. Following our recent reports that former prime broker and liquidity/risk services firm iS Prime (later rebranded as iSAM Securities) co-founders Raj Sitlani and Jonathan Brewer were behind the launch of a new retail offshore CFDs broker called JT Markets, it comes as no surprise that the two (along with Jeff Wilkins) have expanded their new business to include JT Prime, a new institutional Prime of Prime (PoP) operation.
etoro shares down 9%, hit all-time low on poor Q3 results. Shares of Israel based online broker etoro Group Ltd (NASDAQ:ETOR) traded down by 9% early Tuesday, after the company released Q3 2026 results that clearly disappointed investors. Before digging into what went right and wrong for etoro this quarter, a quick look at the “big picture” tells a good part of the story. etoro quarterly Revenues (or what it calls “Net contribution”) fell by 19% from what was already a disappointing Q2, and at $186 million were the lowest they’ve been since Q3 2024 – before the company went public (in May 2025).

Leading broker tech provider Leverate has announced the launch of its advanced CRM, designed to move brokerage operations beyond managing information toward turning data into decisions and routine processes into automated action. Built for growing and established CFD brokers, the CRM supports MT4, MT5 and Leverate’s white-label trading platform without requiring firms to replace their trading infrastructure.

ASIC warns it will cancel broker licenses over use of improper lead generators. Australia financial regulator ASIC has issued a fairly sternly worded warning to licensed CFDs brokers and others under its purview, regarding the use of lead generators. ASIC said that its recent review of lead generation activity in the financial advice sector has uncovered examples of involvement of unlicensed or unqualified lead generators in the advice process, exposing oversight failures by licensees.
