OANDA, now under the ownership of prop trading giant FTMO, has made its first major product move since the acquisition — and it’s aimed directly at long-term investors.

This week, OANDA announced the launch of over 350 Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) available to clients across the European Union. The new lineup includes a wide mix of global sectors, commodities, and indices — positioning OANDA as more than just a CFD broker, but as a diversified investment platform.

"The introduction of ETFs to our offering is another step towards providing investors with a full spectrum of modern and effective tools for building a diversified portfolio,” said Marcin Niewiadomski, Managing Director for Europe at OANDA.

“ETFs are the most popular instrument for passive investing and an alternative, cheaper solution compared to standard investment funds. This way, we offer our clients access to global markets in a simple and cost-effective manner."

First 10 ETF Trades Per Month Are Commission-Free

OANDA’s ETF rollout comes with a strong incentive:
Clients can trade up to 10 ETFs per month with zero commission, provided they stay under a €100,000 monthly turnover. Beyond that, the commission is just 0.1% or €1 minimum per trade — highly competitive for the EU market.

This positions OANDA directly against platforms like DEGIRO, XTB, and Trading212, especially for traders and investors looking for low-cost passive investment exposure.

Strategic Shift Under FTMO Ownership

This is the first major move by OANDA since being acquired by FTMO Group in February 2025 — a deal that made headlines across both the prop and brokerage sectors.

FTMO, known for its evaluation-based prop model, has been vocal about keeping the OANDA brand and its new OANDA Prop Trader line separate — but clearly has no problem expanding OANDA’s traditional offerings to attract broader capital.

With OANDA already offering:

• Over 4,000 financial instruments
  
  
• 2,200+ real stocks
  
  
• Forex and CFD trading
  — the new ETF offering adds another layer to its multi-asset identity.
  
  

And let’s not forget: new clients still get up to 7% annualized interest on unused balances for the first 90 days.

What This Means for the Industry

The lines between prop firms and brokers continue to blur.
With FTMO owning a regulated global brokerage like OANDA — and now backing commission-free ETF access in Europe — we’re watching the evolution of what a “prop firm” really is.

Proprietary capital + global infrastructure = a new era for retail trading?
