Trading.com CEO Georgios Vasiliou has left the retail brokerage after twelve years with the wider group, including five years at Trading.com and seven at sister brand XM. The departure comes immediately after the firm secured its Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation licence through Cyprus regulator CySEC, though no successor has been announced and the company declined to comment.
Vasiliou’s exit timing suggests Trading.com’s regulatory and operational setup phase has concluded following the MiCA approval. The broker already offers crypto CFDs in Europe, but specifics on deploying full MiCA-compliant digital asset products remain unclear. Industry observers believe the firm may be seeking a commercially-focused CEO to drive growth and capitalize on the new licensing framework rather than maintaining operations-focused leadership.
The move signals a potential strategic shift at Trading.com as European crypto regulations solidify under MiCA’s framework, creating competitive opportunities for compliant brokers.
