oneZero Financial Systems has opened its first Middle East office in Dubai and appointed Lochlan White as Director of Sales & Relationship Management (EMEA). White, previously Chief Commercial Officer at Scope Prime, brings over a decade of experience in the trading industry. The expansion aligns with Dubai's growing role as a hub for CFD and forex brokers, many of whom have secured local licenses. The company aims to strengthen partnerships in the region and provide its execution and liquidity hub technology to brokers and institutions.
This move highlights Dubai's strategic importance in the trading sector, where infrastructure providers are increasingly establishing a presence to serve regional clients. For traders, the expansion could intensify competition among technology providers, potentially driving innovation in liquidity solutions and execution platforms. However, the broader market remains cautious due to Andrew Ralich's warning about sustained market volatility, which complicates risk management for brokers.
The appointment of White, who has worked in APAC, EMEA, and the Middle East, signals oneZero's commitment to regional growth. Traders should monitor how this expansion impacts Dubai's competitive landscape and whether it leads to improved services for local brokers. Additionally, the company's focus on volatility management could influence trading strategies in the MENA region.
