INGOT Brokers has expanded its international presence with the opening of a new office in Limassol, Cyprus, marking the broker’s latest step into the European Union.
The Cyprus office adds to INGOT Brokers’ existing operations across Australia, Dubai, Jordan, and Kenya, strengthening its global footprint. While the company has not disclosed detailed plans for its European strategy, the move signals an intention to engage more closely with Cyprus’ established retail trading and brokerage ecosystem.
INGOT Brokers does not currently hold a European regulatory licence, and the company has not confirmed whether it intends to seek authorisation under the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).
However, a physical presence in Cyprus places the broker within one of Europe’s most developed hubs for forex and CFDs, supported by a deep talent pool and long-standing industry infrastructure.
Cyprus has long served as a gateway for brokers targeting European clients, with many firms historically establishing regulated entities on the island. In recent years, the market has continued to attract new entrants, including firms transitioning from prop trading into retail brokerage models.
At the same time, Cyprus is facing growing competition from other jurisdictions, particularly the United Arab Emirates, where a number of brokers have expanded or relocated operations to benefit from favourable business conditions and increasing regional demand. Several firms have scaled back or closed Cyprus offices in recent years while building larger presences in Dubai or offshore locations.
Against this backdrop, INGOT Brokers’ move into Cyprus highlights the broker’s intention to maintain a presence within Europe’s traditional brokerage centres, even as global competition among financial hubs continues to intensify.
INGOT Brokers is regulated in multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, Seychelles, Kenya, and Jordan, and also holds a licence from the Dubai Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). The broker’s expansion into Cyprus appears to complement its existing regulatory footprint rather than replace its current operational centres.
