What Fxtf Holdings does

Goldenway Japan Co., Ltd., operating under the FXTF brand, is a Japan-domiciled online brokerage regulated by the Financial Services Agency as a Type 1 Financial Instruments Business Operator (Kanto Finance Bureau No. 258) and a Commodity Futures Trading Business Operator. The company serves Japanese retail and (since November 2024) corporate clients with multi-asset derivative trading — 29 FX currency pairs, four commodity CFDs (gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas), four crypto asset CFDs (BTC, ETH in JPY and USD), and knock-out options across FX, commodities, and crypto. Originally founded as FX FOUR Japan in June 2006 and acquired by Singapore-based parent FXTF HOLDINGS Pte. Ltd. in 2018, the firm rebranded to Goldenway Japan and recapitalized to 1 billion yen by March 2025, with Wu Yifan as President since June 2019.

The technology stack centers on FXTF GX, a proprietary web- and mobile-based trading platform (iOS/Android apps) launched in 2021, integrated with TradingView's charting infrastructure (May 2026), and complemented by FXTF MT4 (37 original indicators, EA support), the upcoming FXTF MT5 (May 2026), a proprietary Miraichart forecasting tool, and the FXi24 financial news service. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer within Japan via fxtrade.co.jp, with eKYC-enabled same-day account opening and customer support across phone, email, LINE, and chat. Customer funds are held under full monetary trust at Shinsei Trust Bank.

Revenue is generated from position-linked trading commissions (建玉連動手数料) deducted at order execution, bid-ask spreads outside designated zero-spread windows, swap points on overnight positions, daily leverage fees on crypto CFD/KO positions, and a small recurring newsletter subscription (2,000 yen per 4 weeks). The firm reported a 350.8% capital adequacy ratio as of May 2026, and claims 90% share of the Japanese crypto asset CFD market and 27.6% of the gold CFD market as of May 2025, while remaining exclusively domestic.
