The Finance Magnates Awards 2026 has begun accepting nominations, with the first contenders now officially announced as the deadline approaches. The annual awards recognize top performers across financial services, brokers, technology providers, and innovators who shaped the industry over the past year. Competition is expected to be particularly fierce this cycle.
Among the first confirmed nominees are Axcera and Base Markets. Axcera, the 2025 Best Prop Trading Technology Provider winner, operates an integrated platform serving over fifty proprietary trading brands, supporting more than one million traders and processing over one hundred thousand accounts monthly. The UAE and Cyprus-registered firm offers combined back-office CRM and trader management systems designed to streamline operations for prop firms and brokers.
Base Markets enters as a no-frills broker founded by veterans from regulated institutions, offering transparent pricing at two dollars per side on forex from the first trade. The firm provides forex, commodity, index, and crypto CFDs via MetaTrader 5 without tiered rebates or promotional complexity.
