Romanian business outlet Economedia.ro has reported on Freedom24's latest expansion plans in the European Union. According to the publication, the company is expected to open an office in Romania by the end of this year, with a local hub focused on sales, compliance and operational support. The entry into Romania is part of a broader phased strategy that also includes the Czech Republic and follows the model already being applied in Bulgaria, where the company already has a presence. Freedom24 focuses on integrating banking, investment and loyalty services into a single digital ecosystem. The platform currently serves over 600,000 clients in the EU, with important markets in Greece, Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Spain. The company relies on a centralized operational model with its technology and infrastructure developed in Cyprus, where the company has over 500 tech talents. Services are distributed locally through small offices managing market relationships and compliance.📈 The expansion into Romania and other markets in the region signals Freedom24's transition from a regional player to one with global ambitions, with a stated goal of obtaining a banking license in the EU. For Romania, the entry of a new player could bring increased competition in the retail investment and digital financial services segment, along with potential new job opportunities in compliance, sales and financial technology. 🔗 Read more on Economedia.ro

In the April edition of Economy Today, Steffen Oliver Scheibler, Operational Security Manager at Freedom24, shares his perspective on how cybersecurity threats are evolving and what organizations often overlook. As digital operations expand across Europe, understanding where real risks lie is becoming critical not only for IT teams, but for businesses as a whole. 🔍 “The biggest threat is still people being tricked, not systems being magically broken. Phishing, impersonation, stolen credentials, fake urgency, fake authority — same old methods.” Scheibler explains that while the core tactics remain unchanged, AI has significantly increased both the scale and effectiveness of attacks. “AI hasn’t reinvented cybercrime, but it has industrialised it and it's allowing small criminal enterprises to launch campaigns previously only possible for very larger ones.” He also highlights that many organizations are not as prepared as they believe. “Most organisations are aware of these threats, but awareness alone doesn’t stop them.” Instead, real resilience depends on structured processes such as verification protocols, controlled access, and tested incident response strategies. According to Scheibler, overconfidence and lack of consistent verification remain key vulnerabilities, especially in high-pressure or urgent situations. Looking at the role of AI in defence, he notes that its impact is already significant but often misunderstood. “AI is useful, and in many cases already essential, but it’s not a miracle solution.” He emphasizes that its main strength today lies in speed, helping teams detect and respond faster rather than fully preventing attacks. At the same time, he points out that “AI strengthens defence when it’s used well, but it also strengthens attackers when they use it well,” underlining how it is raising the pace and scale of cybersecurity on both sides. 🔗 Read more in Economy Today

A major Italian news outlet La Stampa featured expert commentary from Francesco Bergamini, Tied Agent in Italy for Freedom Finance Europe. In the article, he explores the rapid rise of prediction markets, a segment estimated at around $50 billion in 2025, and explains why this emerging space is attracting growing attention from both institutional and retail investors. The discussion reveals a broader shift in how markets interpret and price future events, making it a timely topic for today’s investment landscape. 📊 "Over the past two years, markets have discussed almost exclusively macroeconomics—inflation, Fed rates, and the trajectory of the US economy. Investors are trying to assess central bank policy rather than companies. In this context, a market has begun to form that is directly linked not to economic indicators, but to the events themselves that influence the economy," explains Francesco. Discussing how probability trading works, he says: "The market structure is extremely simple. The contract pays $1 if the event occurs and $0 if it doesn't. The price effectively becomes the probability. A contract trading at $0.65 means that the market estimates the probability of the event at 65%." 📈 Francesco also points to the key factor that will determine the future of this market, emphasizing the importance of regulation as the industry evolves. "The main risk now is not overestimating the inevitability of this market's emergence. Financial history shows that the fate of new instruments is determined not by demand, but by regulatory definition. ETFs were once on the verge of being banned, and some derivatives have actually been banned. Therefore, a rational strategy is to monitor regulation, prepare for possible IPOs, and follow potential beneficiaries, primarily exchanges and betting platforms, which could be the first to implement event-based trading." 🔗 Read more on La Stampa

Evgenii Tiapkin, Executive Director of Freedom24 presented the company’s European strategy during Freedom Inside ‘26. Portugal’s Jornal Económico outlines one of the main points of Evgenii’s presentation: Freedom24 continues expansion across the EU, with Portugal identified as one of the key growth markets for the coming years. “We continue to strengthen our presence in new markets, including Portugal, while developing our operations in Romania and the Czech Republic. Freedom24 already operates in all EU countries and has 10 offices in key markets, with Portugal, Romania, and the Czech Republic identified as key growth markets for the period 2026–2027,” he said. 📈 Evgenii also detailed plans to deepen integration into European capital markets by joining major stock exchanges and strengthening infrastructure. “Developing our clearing and quoting infrastructure is a fundamental priority for us, as we aim to make market access as direct, resilient, and efficient as possible. In addition to the Athens Stock Exchange, we intend to become members of several major trading platforms, including Euronext, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and the Stuttgart Stock Exchange. This will mean deeper integration into the European market and greater independence for our brokerage platform,” he added. 🚀 The company is also exploring expansion into banking services in France, supported by the French government. “Banks are a natural complement to an investment platform and make our global offering to clients more comprehensive. To support this ambition, we are currently actively exploring the possibility of obtaining a banking license in France,” Evgenii noted, highlighting the company’s long-term focus on strengthening its presence in Europe and expanding its offering. 🇪🇺 🔗 Read more in Jornal Económico

Freedom24 Executive Director Evgenii Tiapkin took the Main Stage at Freedom Inside in Astana on April 9 with a presentation on the European market and the development of the Freedom24 platform. The session offered an overview of Freedom24's ten-year journey as a regulated broker serving retail clients across the European Union, with local teams and national regulatory oversight in the markets where the company operates. Turning to the European regulatory environment, Evgenii described it as one of the defining factors behind the quality of the business. "The regulatory framework is built on two fundamental principles: the first is investor protection, the second is market protection. The requirements cover both the client-facing side of the business and the company's entire internal architecture: capital, compliance, controls, and resilience," he explained. Evgenii closed the session by outlining Freedom24's plans for scaling the brokerage business, with the Czech Republic, Romania and Portugal identified as key growth markets for the coming years. He also spoke about the development of the company's operational infrastructure, including planned membership of Euronext, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, and the expansion of the ecosystem of services around the core offering. "Our goal is to evolve from the model of a traditional broker to a broader financial and client ecosystem. We want to build on all the experience we have accumulated, including in Kazakhstan, to create new value for clients. And in competing with traditional European banks, I am confident that we can succeed," he said.
