Expanding Presence in Europe’s Trading Market
“Skilling’s technology and client-first approach are an ideal fit for our strategy, creating opportunities to scale innovation, deliver enhanced value, and build resilience in an increasingly competitive sector,” commented Marc Joppeck, board member of INFINOX.Marc Joppeck, Source: LinkedIn
“The firm’s presence in the Nordic region is a hugely attractive addition for the Group, and ultimately, bringing Skilling into the group strengthens our ability to serve clients worldwide with transparency, trust, and next-generation solutions,” he shared.
Technology and Market Reach
Current Skilling users will reportedly gain access to deeper liquidity through the group’s broader international network. The acquisition also promises a wider selection of trading instruments and stronger security measures under international regulations.
Skilling will keep its brand identity and operational autonomy while integrating the group’s technology, compliance expertise, and licenses. This is expected to increase efficiency and speed up the rollout of mobile trading and payment features.

Last year, the CFD broker appointed its Chief Financial Officer, George Kyriakoudes, as Interim CEO, and later confirmed him as CEO. The leadership change followed the departure of former CEO Michael Kamerman. Kamerman took up a new role as CEO of the brokerage unit at Czech prop trading firm FTMO.
“Joining the portfolio of companies is an exciting step for Skilling and our clients,” Kyriakoudes added. “We are proud of the technology, services, and community we have built, and this deal will allow us to scale these strengths to new heights.”George Kyriakoudes, Source: LinkedIn

The brand provides a range of prime brokerage solutions tailored to professional clients and institutional traders.
More Recent Developments
Earlier this year, the company reported a 233% increase in revenue for the period between January and April 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. It did not disclose the absolute revenue figure but highlighted that the results reflect strong growth momentum across its business lines and regions.
Notably, we reported that Infinox's institutional arm recently suspended new institutional trading activities for several CFD brokers and halted withdrawals for at least one, citing potential breaches of market conduct standards.
In a letter reviewed by financemagnates.com, Infinox said it is “fully investigating” certain trades flagged by external auditors and invoked “Clause 5” of its client agreement, which permits the temporary suspension of client trading during compliance or regulatory investigations.
