- The broker’s layoffs affected around 10% of its 1,500 employees.
- The move follows a broader industry trend, with Tradu/FXCM and eToro the latest to cut jobs.
IronFX, a prominent brand in the forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) industry, has laid off around 10% of its 1,500 workforce, FinanceMagnates.com understands. Sources said the reason behind the move was “efficiency” amid the AI wave.
The specific catalyst for the layoffs at IronFX remains unconfirmed by the company, which has been largely unresponsive to inquiries, and no comments were provided by the time of publication.
While IronFX holds a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) licence, it stopped offering services to retail CFD traders in the European Union a few years ago. Now, the broker appears to be operating primarily under an offshore licence from the British Virgin Islands.
It also holds a licence from the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
Despite its global operations, the broker has strong ties with Cyprus, as it was founded on the Mediterranean island in 2010 by Markos Kashiouris and Peter Economides. It received the Cyprus license the same year.

The staff cuts at IronFX follow a broader pattern of layoffs across the retail brokerage landscape.
Finance Magnates earlier reported that eToro decided to cut 10% of its global workforce, while the operator of the FXCM and Tradu platform moved to cut more than 100 employees in 2025. The CEOs at eToro and FXCM cited AI adoption as a driver for restructuring.
Still, it remains to be seen if AI is a strategic narrative for the sector, as by bundling performance-based redundancies and aggressive cost-cutting into a single, forward-looking message, brokers can often frame mass layoffs in a way that resonates more positively with investors.
Elsewhere, IG Group has recently finalised the closure of its South African office, a unit that once employed roughly 90 people, completing a withdrawal that began nearly nine months ago.
In 2023, IG Group had also moved to reduce its global workforce by 10%, and a few months later, another industry heavyweight, CMC Markets, announced a 17% staff reduction.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry’s reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate ‘sources of truth’) leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima’s unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
– Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
– The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
– Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
– Altima’s unified, event-driven solution architecture
– The concept of a “risk-aware CRM”

How Prop Firms Scale Without Breaking Tech Stacks | Axcera Executive Interview
In this Finance Magnates executive interview, Dora Christofi, Head of Marketing at Finance Magnates, speaks with Herman Shaho, Co-Founder & CPO at Axcera, about what prop firms often get wrong when scaling, and how the right CRM infrastructure can support growth.
Shaho explains why many prop firms break once they grow beyond the early stage, after stacking too many disconnected tools. He also shares how Axcera approaches customisation, with technology that fits the firm’s needs rather than forcing the firm to fit a template.
“The firm doesn’t need to adapt to the software, our software adapts to the firm,” Shaho says.
The interview follows Axcera’s recognition at the Finance Magnates Awards 2025, where the company won Best Prop Trading Technology Provider.
