The iFX Expo LATAM 2025 concluded with marked success earlier this month, convening the onlinetrading community at the World Trade Center, Mexico City. Over two days—9 and 10 April—the event facilitated substantive dialogue and the exchange of ideas. More than 3,500 brokers, fintech innovators, payment providers and institutional investors representing upwards of thirty business and financial sectors attended, confirming the Expo’s reputation as one of Latin America’s foremost financial and trading gatherings. Within the expansive and impeccably curated exhibition hall, visitors explored nextgeneration liquidity, regtech and digitalpayment solutions, each designed to serve the region’s rapidly expanding investment community.
As part of the iFX Expo LATAM 2025, EC Markets assumed sponsorship of the highly coveted Speaker Hall—a role entirely consonant with the firm’s culture and its commitment to dialogue concerning the future of finance. Positioned at the heart of the conference’s intellectual exchange, EC Markets funded a programme of keynote addresses, technical masterclasses and roundtable discussions that examined market microstructure, regulatory compliance and the design of crossborder products. In underwriting these sessions, the company affirmed its belief that sustainable growth in Latin America requires a genuine meeting of global best practice and local entrepreneurship, whilst simultaneously enhancing its standing as an industry thought leader.
A high point of the Expo occurred in the packed Speaker Hall during the panel entitled “Will All Online Trading Roads Lead to LATAM?”. Chaired by distinguished analysts, the session featured regional stakeholders alongside Matthew Smith, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EC Markets. Mr Smith articulated three guiding principles: first, that global regulatory credibility must be complemented by a local presence; secondly, that rapid advances in payment infrastructure and educational provision have dramatically widened retailinvestor access; and finally, that authentic trust derives from transparent, human interaction in every jurisdiction. The discussion resonated strongly with delegates, especially given the participation of more than one hundred experts in the Speaker Hall over the twoday programme.
EC Markets’ contribution to the iFX Expo LATAM 2025 was accompanied by tangible recognition: the firm was honoured with the “Most Trusted Broker” award, a distinction of particular significance as it is conferred through a vote of peers, media partners and independent analysts during the closing ceremony. The accolade reflects the company’s unwavering dedication to transparency, strict separation of client funds and continuous investment in supervisory technology. The judging committee highlighted EC Markets’ multiregulatory coverage, realtime reporting dashboards and conflictfree execution architecture as decisive differentiators in an otherwise multi-diverse marketplace.
Accepting the award, Mr Smith stated: “Trust is earned through consistent performance, not rhetoric. Our mission is to combine deep liquidity and advanced analytics with accountability, so that every client trades with confidence.” Observers noted that the distinction serves as a spark for further collaboration between regional fintech ecosystems and established international providers.
Building on the momentum generated in Mexico City, EC Markets will expand its representative offices, integrate additional local payment gateways and inaugurate a comprehensive educational hub in Spanish and Portuguese, with the aim of nurturing the next generation of disciplined and responsible traders. Concurrently, the firm intends to support regulatorycapacitybuilding initiatives across the continent, thereby reinforcing the intrinsic link between investor protection and sustainable market development. EC Markets extends its sincere thanks to organisers and participants alike for their warm engagement, and looks forward to continuing the dialogue at the next iFX Expo as the sector collectively guides Latin America towards its full trading potential.
