Jan 22: XS.com, the global multi-asset broker, marked 2025 as a defining year of growth, innovation, and international expansion, according to an exclusive interview with Wael Hammad, Group Chief Commercial Officer, published by Finance Magnates. From strengthening global presence to reinforcing regulatory frameworks and enhancing technology, XS.com laid a strong foundation for sustained growth into 2026 and beyond.
From opening new offices in Kuwait City and Dubai to strengthening regulatory coverage across eight jurisdictions, 2025 was a year of bold moves designed to bring XS.com closer to clients while reinforcing global trust and transparency. As Wael explained during the Finance Magnates interview, these efforts were not just about physical presence, but about building meaningful local relationships. “Being in key markets allows us to understand client needs directly, tailor our services, and ensure our global standards translate locally,” he noted. In addition to GCC expansion, XS.com secured new licenses from the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority, the Financial Services Commission in Mauritius, and Kuwait’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry, further strengthening its regulatory framework across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. These milestones reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to protecting client funds, promoting transparency, and creating a trusted global trading environment, foundations that Wael says will support sustainable growth into 2026 and beyond.
XS.com also enhanced its technological capabilities, deploying advanced AI-driven tools to improve risk management, analytics, and execution quality, while partnering with leading technology providers such as FXCubic and Centroid Solutions. Strengthening its leadership team with key technology and product appointments further supported these advancements. As Wael emphasized, “Innovation isn’t just about new tools—it’s about using technology responsibly to deliver better outcomes for our clients and partners.”
Industry recognition was another highlight of 2025. XS.com earned over 20 awards, including Best Global Multi-Asset Broker and regional honors across APAC and Africa, reflecting the company’s consistent service standards and growing reputation as a trusted broker. At the same time, XS.com invested heavily in its Partner Program, fostering strong, transparent relationships with affiliates, introducing brokers, and finfluencers. According to Wael, “Our growth is intertwined with the success of our partners. Building a collaborative ecosystem ensures mutual success and strengthens our global community.”
Looking ahead, Wael shared that XS.com plans to continue expanding responsibly, innovate within a strong regulatory framework, and remain fully client-focused as it moves into 2026. The company’s strategic vision emphasizes balancing global ambitions with local execution, maintaining high standards of compliance, and delivering consistent value to clients and partners worldwide.
