Stratos Markets Limited, the UK operational arm of FXCM, reported a net loss of $2.24 million for 2025, expanding from a $2.02 million loss recorded in the previous year. The wider deficit came despite a notable 40% increase in retail trading volume to $340 billion and a 73% surge in gross commission income to $10.82 million. Higher administrative expenses, which rose nearly 29% to $12.03 million, along with almost doubled staff costs and reduced interest income on cash balances, weighed heavily on the company's bottom line.
