FNG has learned that experienced FX industry executive Marios Antoniou has been recruited as CEO of institutional FX/CFDs liquidity provider startup LP Prime. LP Prime was recently launched by former oneZero and PrimeXM executive Louay Amhaz, as was exclusively reported here at FNG back in March. (We also ran an interview with Louay Amhaz about his plans for LP Prime).
Marios Antoniou joined Cyprus based Retail FX and CFDs broker M4Markets as its COO early last year. He was previously part of a group which attempted to launch a new offshore FX brand called Invaxa, where Marios acted as CEO. He was previously the Executive Director of CySEC licensed broker EverFX, which was later rebranded to Axiance. Marios has also worked in senior dealing desk roles at TopFX and at IronFX.
Marios posted a brief note on social media about his new appointment,
“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Chief Executive Officer at LP Prime! I am eager to lead this incredible team and steer our collective efforts towards innovation and growth. Exciting times ahead as we work together to achieve new milestones and make a positive impact in our industry. Here’s to new beginnings and great achievements!”
LP Prime will be formally domiciled in South Africa, with operating company Logan Capital (Pty) Ltd acting as an authorized Financial Services Provider regulated by the Financial Sector Authority (FSCA) of South Africa (License no. 52610). LP Prime plans to offer bespoke liquidity and prime broker solutions for brokers, across an extensive range of asset classes. It will also offer white label broker solutions.
