What ROSTRO Financials Group does

Rostro Financials Group (also doing business as Rostro Group) is a privately held, technology-driven multi-brand financial ecosystem founded in 2021 and headquartered in Jersey City, with a regional hub in Dubai and operations across 150+ countries through 9 licensed entities. The Group delivers retail brokerage, institutional prime services, digital-asset liquidity, payments, private banking, futures & options, and a proprietary hedge fund under a unified technology stack that includes the TLY client-intelligence platform, Rostro Wealth, a self-described 'world-first' blockchain-driven digital-asset liquidity engine, and the MetaQuotes Ultency matching engine integrated for low-latency execution.

The operating architecture is a platform-plus-modules model organized around five sub-brands: Scope Markets (retail trading platform with access to 40,000+ instruments globally), Scope Prime (institutional multi-asset liquidity, DMA/OTC execution, and prime brokerage for hedge funds, prop firms and larger brokerages), Rostro Labs (R&D for AI, blockchain, and platform engineering), Rostro Investments (M&A division), and Rostro Foundation (CSR). Distribution runs through three channels — self-serve digital for retail, direct enterprise sales for institutional clients, and an Introducing Broker network for local-market reach — supported by a 350+ worldwide team.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on retail CFD/forex/equities/crypto trading and OTC market making, plus subscription/recurring fees on prime brokerage services, with additional transaction-fee income from digital-asset services, payments, and hedge-fund proprietary trading. Strategic growth has been self-funded: the 2022-2023 acquisition of Scope Markets was financed entirely from existing cash reserves, and the Group has subsequently expanded into digital assets (UAE SCA approval in 2025), wealth management (Rostro Wealth), and MENA/Asia as target geographies.
