Capital.com shared a LinkedIn post
outlining a senior job opening and business plans in Singapore. In December, it
applied for a South African licence. The company said it is “exploring new
licences in several markets.”
Join the inaugural Finance
Magnates Singapore Summit 2026, which will bring together brokers,
fintechs, banks, EMIs, wealth managers, and hedge funds across APAC.
The post addressed the status of Singapore operations. The
company wrote: “Please note that our Singapore operations are subject to the
receipt of the relevant regulatory approvals, and we are currently in the
process of obtaining our license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.”
Singapore Risk Role Open at Capital.com
Capital.com listed details of a Risk Manager role for its
Singapore entity. The position will manage the risk framework for the
CMS-licensed entity and cover the identification, measurement, monitoring and
control of “all material risks, including market, credit, operational,
liquidity, and compliance risks,” in line with MAS requirements and internal
governance standards.
The posting states the Risk Manager will report directly to
the Country Head, Singapore, with secondary reporting to Group Risk. The role
will work closely with Compliance, Finance and Operations teams to support risk
governance and oversight.
Capital.com Grows Operations Across Multiple Markets
Beyond Singapore, Capital.com
is pursuing licences in Japan and Turkey
and is recruiting CEOs for operations in Brazil and Chile. Founded by Viktor
Prokopenya in 2017, the company offers contracts for differences under
authorisation from regulators in the UK, Australia, Cyprus, the UAE, and the
Bahamas.
The group is expanding both geographically and across
products, including investing in scalable infrastructure and emerging
technologies such as blockchain. Its research has also been cited in regulatory
work, including the FCA discussion paper “Expanding Consumer Access to
Investments,” which noted that many UK investors remain cautious about further
investing due to concerns over scams.
Capital Vault Secures MiCA Approval
In addition to geographic expansion, Capital.com appears to
have obtained a Markets
in Crypto-Assets licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission,
according to the regulator’s public registry.
The licence was granted to an entity named Capital Vault
Ltd, which shares the same building as Capital.com’s Cyprus entity but occupies
a separate floor. The MiCA licence was awarded on 1 December 2025.
FinanceMagnates.com previously reported that Capital.com was hiring a Head of
Technology for digital assets, suggesting potential plans to offer spot
cryptocurrency products and services.
