Freedom24 Executive Director Evgenii Tiapkin on Thursday, April 9, presented the company’s European strategy and platform development on the main stage at the Freedom Inside event in Astana.

The session provided a detailed overview of Freedom24’s ten-year journey as a regulated broker, focusing on its operations serving retail clients across the European Union.

The company operates with local teams and national regulatory oversight in each market, ensuring compliance with country-specific requirements while maintaining a unified service offering.

Tiapkin highlighted that the European regulatory environment plays a defining role in shaping the company’s business quality, emphasising its importance for long-term growth and stability.

“The regulatory framework is built on two fundamental principles: the first is investor protection, the second is market protection,” Tiapkin said.

“The requirements cover both the client-facing side of the business and the company’s entire internal architecture capital, compliance, controls, and resilience,” he added.

He also outlined the company’s future plans, identifying the Czech Republic, Romania and Portugal as key growth markets for the coming years.

Tiapkin explained that the firm is working towards scaling its brokerage business across Europe, supported by continued investment in infrastructure and market access.

He further referred to the development of operational infrastructure, including planned membership of major European exchanges.

These include Euronext, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, which are expected to strengthen the firm’s presence in European capital markets.

In addition, the company is pursuing the expansion of its ecosystem of services around its core offering, aiming to provide a broader range of financial solutions to clients.

“Our goal is to evolve from the model of a traditional broker to a broader financial and client ecosystem,” Tiapkin said.

“We want to build on all the experience we have accumulated including in Kazakhstan to create new value for clients,” he added.

“And in competing with traditional European banks I am confident that we can succeed,” he concluded.
