CAPEX announces operational and regulatory milestones

The new hire comes shortly after CAPEX.com strengthened its Mena operations with the appointment of Abdelhadi Laabi as its new chief marketing officer for the region.

Backed with more than a decade of prolific experience in marketing and branding, Abdelhadi’s expertise spans across the FMGC, hospitality, and finance industries.

The CAPEX.com brand, which received its first license in 2016, is currently providing services across Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, Latin America, and South-East Asia.

With over 2000 tradeable instruments, the broker is preparing to expand its multi-asset offering by including DeFi and blockchain-based services. CAPEX.com also launched a new product called StoX, which bundles a no-commission trading product with unleveraged fractional CFDs on shares of top US companies.

These operational and regulatory milestones come on the heels of closing a $21 million funding round back in June 2021. CAPEX.com also made headlines last year when it signed a multi-season sponsorship deal with the Italian football giant, Juventus.
