Rostro, founded in 2021, is on a mission to reshape global financial inclusion by breaking down barriers that hinder access to financial markets. The company aims to ensure that both individuals and institutions, across emerging and established markets, can trade, invest, and manage wealth with ease. This ambition drives the company’s expansion into frontier economies, the development of new regulatory frameworks, and an ever-evolving product offering.
A Vision for the Future of Finance
Rostro’s leadership is committed to creating a future where financial services are accessible and future-ready. As Group CEO, the leadership philosophy focuses not only on strategic direction but on selecting the right people and positioning the company in key locations. Dubai, located at the crossroads of growth markets and innovation, serves as the strategic heart of Rostro’s operations. From this hub, the company stays ahead of global trends, fosters strategic partnerships, and expands its reach.
The company’s goal is to provide seamless, integrated financial services that cover a wide range of needs. Their diverse offerings cater to clients from institutional investors to retail traders and include access to capital markets, prime brokerage, payments services, and even mergers and acquisitions. Rostro aims to be the go-to platform for all things finance, offering tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of its clients.
Innovative Solutions
Rostro’s innovation is centred around Rostro Labs, the company’s research and development division. Here, a focus on artificial intelligence and future-ready technologies helps shape the company’s offerings. Their services are designed to cater to clients at all levels of the market:
- Scope Prime: This division offers institutional liquidity and execution services to brokers, hedge funds, and family offices.
- Scope Markets: A retail trading platform designed to serve global clients, including those from underserved markets.
- RS Capital: A hedge fund dedicated to the next generation of investors in emerging asset classes.

Rostro’s products are built with flexibility and customisation at their core, allowing them to meet the specific needs of various market participants.
Expanding the Crypto Offering
Digital assets play a key role in Rostro’s vision for the future of finance. Through their Scope Prime division, Rostro has significantly expanded its cryptocurrency offering. The range of digital assets available for trading has grown from 10 instruments to over 77, covering well-known currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, as well as emerging altcoins like TrumpCoin and Dash. This expansion allows clients to access deeper liquidity, continuous 24/7 trading, and a broader selection of instruments.
The company’s ability to offer such a wide range of cryptocurrencies is driven by its technical expertise. Rostro has built systems that connect seamlessly with specialist exchanges and liquidity providers to ensure market depth and stability. The company is not stopping at 77 instruments; over 100 more are in the pipeline, further solidifying its commitment to creating a resilient and growth-oriented crypto trading environment.
“We view digital assets not as an alternative market, but as a core pillar of global finance,” says Rostro’s leadership, highlighting their belief in the growing importance of crypto in the financial ecosystem.
Dubai: A Strategic Hub for Growth
Dubai’s position as a global financial and technological hub has proven invaluable for Rostro’s growth. The city’s world-class infrastructure, combined with its access to fast-growing regions, provides the ideal environment for the company to accelerate its mission of blending traditional finance with digital innovation.
From Dubai, Rostro is shaping the future of trading, investing, and wealth management, driving momentum towards a more inclusive financial world. The company remains confident that its presence in Dubai will be central to its continued success and growth in the years to come.
As the company builds its inclusive financial ecosystems, Rostro is also focused on giving back. Through the Rostro Foundation, the company helps global communities, with a special focus on ensuring children receive timely medical care. The Foundation extends the company’s principle of empowerment, but with a human touch.
Rostro’s vision is clear: to combine traditional financial systems with digital innovations, breaking down barriers and empowering participants in every corner of the globe.
