Darwinex Secures Europe Presence with License from Spain's CNMV

The broker obtained the license as part of his post-Brexit strategy.

It enables the broker to provide services in Spain and other EEA nations.

Darwinex, a retail broker and asset management located in the United Kingdom, has obtained an operating license from the Spanish regulator, known locally as Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV).

The new license, which was officially announced on Tuesday, would enable the brokerage to lawfully provide trading services to retail clients in Spain and other European Economic Area (EEA) nations.

“It was a joy to work with the CNMV regulator to adapt our business model, compliance procedures, operations, and finances to the Spanish legislation,” stated Darwinex's Co-Founder and CEO, Juan Colón.

Darwinex already has a license from the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (FCA ). The corporation added the additional license to guarantee its operations in Europe after the conclusion of Brexit. Previously, it exported its FCA license to provide services to EEA customers.

The inclusion of the additional license did not come as a surprise, given the company's application for a Spanish license had been made public in late 2020.

“This concludes our post-Brexit strategy. We can now concentrate on enhancing our portfolio and speeding our expansion,” Colón said.

To expedite expansion, the broker also secured €3 million in a fundraising round headed by Stefan Jaecklin and Pinorena Capital last year. The firm has raised a total of €9 million in investment so far.

Darwinex was formed in 2012 by Juan Colón, Javier Colón, and Miguel ngel González, three entrepreneurs. Now, the company has offices in London and Madrid. In addition, the broker emphasized that it had over 170,000 members in 75 countries and over €80 million under management.

“Our investable indices establish a symbiotic relationship between traders and investors around a distinct alternative product that is uncorrelated with conventional markets,” the CEO stated.
