Leverate 2025 Recap: Growth, AI & Innovation for Brokers & Prop Firms
As we close out 2025, one truth stands out: the brokerage landscape has fundamentally changed. Traders expect faster onboarding, smarter automation, and personalized experiences. Prop firms need retention tools that go beyond basic risk controls. CFD brokers require flexibility that adapts to 24/7 markets and global trader demands.
This year, we didn’t just respond to these shifts; we anticipated them. Every feature launched, every partnership formed, and every market we entered was driven by a single mission: to build technology that empowers brokers to grow without compromise.
Here’s how 2025 became our most transformative year yet.
The Challenge: Brokers Need More Than Platforms, They Need Growth Engines
Modern brokers face an impossible balance: scale operations while maintaining quality, automate workflows without losing the human touch, and expand globally while staying locally relevant. Traditional platforms force you to choose. Leverate’s 2025 innovation cycle proved you don’t have to.
For Prop Firms: Turning Challenges Into Opportunities
Prop trading exploded in 2025, but so did competition. The firms winning today aren’t just running challenges; they’re creating experiences that keep traders engaged, motivated, and loyal.
That’s why we launched Challenge Keeper, the industry’s first built-in retention engine. When promising traders hit max loss limits, they don’t walk away frustrated; they get a lifeline. Prop firms generate new revenue per extension while retaining high-potential talent. The results speak for themselves: prop firms using Challenge Keeper have seen significant increases in conversion rates, turning would-be exits into continued engagement.
We paired this with Challenge Retry Logic, giving traders automated second chances that reduce drop-off and now accounts for 20% of broker revenue on average, and Manual Step Approvals, putting risk control firmly back in your hands before capital gets deployed.
But retention without acquisition is a losing game. Refer & Earn transformed every trader into a potential growth partner. With automated commission tracking across Prop, CFD, and WebTrader, organic referrals became a measurable, scalable acquisition channel, with no additional marketing spend required.
And because global expansion demands local precision, Plans Localization allowed prop firms to target specific currencies and countries, delivering up to 3x conversion in localized markets. Show EUR-denominated plans to European traders, CHF plans to Swiss traders, automatically, intelligently, profitably.
For CFD Brokers: Meeting Traders Where Markets Never Sleep
Today’s CFD traders don’t operate on legacy schedules. They want access when news breaks, when opportunities emerge, when markets move, even if it’s 2 AM on a Sunday.
24/7 Equity Liquidity changed the game. Powered by Leverate Prime, brokers can now offer round-the-clock access to Tesla, Microsoft, Nvidia, and other major U.S. stocks. Traders manage positions during Asian market hours or weekend news cycles, just like they do with FX and crypto.
But access means nothing without control. Smart Swap Multipliers gave brokers granular fee management by day and asset class. Reduce friction on weekends for crypto traders. Preserve triple-Wednesday logic for traditional FX. Your pricing, your rules, fully customizable.
We also knew that serious traders expect serious tools. TradingView Charts Integration delivered exactly that, seamlessly built into Leverate’s trading platform with no third-party logins, no hidden fees, just advanced technical indicators and customization that meets professional expectations.
And with our v5 complete platform rollout, featuring a reimagined UI, intuitive card-based layout, and instant brand customisation, we made sure every touchpoint drives signups, engagement, and retention. First impressions matter. We made yours unforgettable.
For All Brokers: Communication That Converts and Connects
Growth doesn’t happen in one language or through one channel. The Multilingual Notification Center brought omnichannel communication directly into the Broker Portal. Customize your brand voice, send in-app messages in every language your traders speak, and preview everything instantly before it goes live.
We streamlined conversions with FTD Express Checkout Flow, using geolocation to autofill user data and reducing friction from signup to first deposit. Every eliminated step is a conversion saved.
And because traders make better decisions with better information, we integrated a real-time Economic Calendar powered by Investing.com, giving your clients instant visibility into global events that move markets.
The Proof: Global Expansion Fueled by Strategic Intent
Innovation only matters if it scales. That’s why 2025 wasn’t just about product; it was about presence, partnerships, and proof of concept across three continents.
In LATAM, we built a dedicated regional hub with localized solutions, native language support, and compliance expertise across Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. We weren’t just attendees at iFX EXPO LATAM, Money Expo Chile, and Money Expo Mexico; we were partners helping brokers navigate one of the world’s fastest-growing trading regions.
In MENA, we accelerated market penetration through strategic event presence and partnerships, earning the “Top Social Trading Platform” award at Forex Traders Summit Dubai. Recognition isn’t the goal; it’s validation that we’re solving the right problems.
In Europe, we demonstrated ecosystem advancements at iFX Expo International in Limassol and closed the year strong at FMLS:25 in London, where CEO Ran Strauss joined the “Trading Platforms in 2026” panel. These weren’t just booths and handshakes; they were conversations about the future of brokerage technology, and Leverate was leading them.
In Asia-Pacific, our presence at iFX Expo Hong Kong reinforced that intelligent automation and personalization aren’t regional trends, they’re global imperatives.
Across every event, every demo, every conversation, one pattern emerged: brokers are done choosing between growth and control. They want both. Leverate delivers both.
The Multiplier: Partnerships That Amplify Your Potential
Technology is only as powerful as its ecosystem. This year, we deepened integrations that don’t just add features, they multiply capabilities.
We strategically expanded our partner network across liquidity providers, payment solutions, CRM platforms, and marketing tools, each integration designed to give brokers more flexibility, better performance, and seamless operations. Our expanded collaboration with Solitics brought AI-powered personalization directly into the Broker Portal. Real-time event syncing, cross-product compatibility, and natural language journey creation mean you’re not just reacting to trader behavior, you’re anticipating it. This is automation with intelligence, and it’s live now.
Our XGroup integration expanded global reach for both parties, proving that when best-in-class technology meets strategic distribution, everyone wins, especially the end trader.
The Reason Behind Everything: Your Growth Is Our Mission
Every feature launched in 2025 solved a real problem. Every partnership formed opened new possibilities. Every market entered was chosen strategically. None of it was random.
We didn’t build a list of features. We built a growth engine, one where automation scales operations, personalization drives engagement, and flexibility adapts to whatever comes next.
From iFX EXPO Dubai in January to FMLS:25 in London in November, from Challenge Keeper to Refer & Earn, from LATAM expansion to MENA partnerships, every decision pointed in one direction: empowering you to operate smarter, scale faster, and deliver experiences traders can’t find anywhere else.
That’s not just what we achieved in 2025. That’s who we are.
Looking ahead to 2026, we’re already building the next generation of brokerage technology, deeper AI integration, expanded liquidity solutions, and capabilities that will redefine what’s possible for prop firms and CFD brokers alike. We’re expanding our global partnerships, bringing our platform to new markets, and taking our team to even more cities to meet the ambitious brokers and prop firms ready to lead the industry forward. The best is yet to come.
