As Asia’s fintech ecosystem continues to thrive, collaboration and innovation have emerged as key for industry players to stand out amidst evolving regulations and shifting market dynamics. EBC Financial Group, a top liquidity provider for Thailand and world-class global broker, recently concluded its successful participation at iFX EXPO Asia 2024, where we showcased our expertise and forged valuable business connections.
iFX EXPO is the world’s first and largest financial B2B expo that brings together executives from top-tier brands and fintech innovators and affiliates to network, learn, and open new possibilities. The latest edition of the expo, which was held at the Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre from 16th to 18th September 2024, drew over 3,500 professionals from over 1,600 companies across the online trading, fintech, and financial services sectors.
Exhibiting for the first time, EBC’s booth saw a strong turnout on all three days. Attendees – from IBs and fintech innovators to potential business partners – showed keen interest in our advanced trading technologies and comprehensive brokerage services, reflecting EBC’s expanding influence in the industry and growing demand across Asia Pacific for tailored financial solutions.
We also took the opportunity to engage visitors through our diverse partnerships, including with FC Barcelona. Gifts were prepared for those who stopped by, with special opportunities to participate in a lucky draw for coveted FC Barcelona merchandise. The winning combination of football and finance led our booth to ultimately be recognised by event officials as the best booth at the expo.
Asia: A Key Hub for Fintech Growth
The global appetite for online trading and fintech continues to grow at an impressive pace. In 2021, the global online trading platform market was valued at US$8.9 billion, and it is projected to double to US$18.4 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 7.8% from 2022 to 2031 (Source: Allied Market Research). Asia Pacific is expected to lead this growth, driven by the increasing deployment of online trading platforms and a surge in self-directed trading. This makes the region a focal point for fintech companies, and EBC is well-positioned to leverage these growth opportunities and expand its presence.
We believe that equipping traders with the knowledge and tools to take control of their financial destinies is critical to creating an equitable, transparent, and thriving trading ecosystem.
During the iFX EXPO Asia 2024, EBC showcased two key offerings designed to empower traders. The first demonstrated approaches to access deep liquidity using advanced technologies. The second key aspect highlighted a range of trading tools, like optimised plugins, to help traders make informed decisions and customise their trading strategies.
Vision for the Future
iFX EXPO Asia 2024 is one of many industry events on the horizon for EBC, and we are excited to continue demonstrating our industry leadership through our products and forward-looking vision. Our commitment to driving innovation in the financial services space has never been stronger, and we look forward to growing our partnerships globally.
As the world of online trading – and client expectations – continues to evolve, EBC Financial Group stands ready to deliver advanced, customer-centric solutions that ensure an unparalleled trading experience for every trader.
