Limassol, Cyprus, 11 September 2025 – Deriv, a leading global online trading provider, has received three internationally recognised awards from Holiston Media’s Global Forex Awards: Most Transparent Broker (Global), Best Broker (Africa), and Best Trading Platform (MENA). These accolades come as the company approaches its 26th anniversary in October 2025, reaffirming its long-term commitment to trust, innovation, and customer experience.
Global trading awards recognise Deriv’s commitment to trust and innovation
“Trust is the true currency of online trading,” said Rakshit Choudhary, CEO of Deriv. “Recognition like this shows we’re on the right path: creating locally relevant experiences, innovating responsibly, and making advanced tools genuinely usable. It reinforces our mission to make trading accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime. We’re planning to expand AI-assisted education, deepen local-language support across Africa and MENA, and roll out features to refine execution while strengthening protections. As client demand evolves, we’re enhancing our multi-asset platform to responsibly bridge traditional markets with crypto, where regulations allow.”
Driving AI-powered trading for safe, accessible, user-focused global markets
Deriv’s achievements reflect its licensing across multiple jurisdictions, 24/7 multilingual support, and continued investment in regional teams and education. Since 1999, the company has expanded access to global markets and is now using AI to improve the trading experience and make advanced capabilities more accessible. At the same time, Deriv is laying the groundwork for compliant, user-first functionality that will make it easier to discover and manage additional asset types—including certain digital assets—securely and seamlessly. Under Rakshit Choudhary’s new leadership and vision, Deriv continues to set ambitious goals for innovation and customer empowerment across the trading industry.
Expanding access to global markets in Africa and MENA with tailored support
In Africa, the company continues to expand access to global markets through tailored content, partnerships, and customer support. “Africa has immense potential for the future of online trading,” said Godfrey Zvenyika, Global Partnerships Manager of Africa. “This recognition highlights our progress and motivates us to keep empowering clients and supporting the region’s growth.”
In MENA, Deriv is continually exploring ways to deepen its local presence and commitment to strong governance. Platform enhancements, localised support, and payment options signal its commitment to intuitive and efficient trading technology for both new and experienced traders at every stage. “Our platforms are designed to deliver both usability and sophistication—for beginners and experienced traders alike,” said Aggelos Armenatzoglou, Head of Dealings. “Recognition in MENA validates our focus on performance, accessibility, and tools that scale with the customer’s experience.”
These recognitions highlight Deriv’s progress in building a modern, intuitive, and efficient trading environment for clients in Africa, MENA, and worldwide. The company will continue investing in innovation, education, and support for traders and partners globally.
