As we embark on a new year, now is the perfect time to look back on 2024 and recap all the key achievements and special moments of the previous 12 months. Despite the unparalleled geopolitical uncertainty and persistently high interest rates, it's been another bumper year for a variety of markets, most notably cryptocurrencies and equities. And Libertex has been there all the way, sharing our clients' successes with them and rewarding them for their invaluable loyalty.
Beyond high levels of client satisfaction, Libertex has always received plenty of industry recognition, too, and 2024 was no exception. The brokerage's first accolade of the year came in March in the form of a Global CFD Broker of the Year award by the prestigious financial publication PAN Finance.
Then, in April, at the iFX EXPO LATAM 2024 in Mexico City, Libertex's outstanding performance and commitment to excellence were recognized when it was named 'Best Broker LATAM' at the prestigious Ultimate Fintech Awards. This accolade highlights Libertex's dedication to delivering top-tier services in the region. Alongside its impressive booth, engaging activities, and valuable prize giveaways, Libertex solidified its position as a leading player in the Latin American market by providing detailed information about its excellent Latin American IB and Affiliate programmes and hosting several prize draws for current and prospective partners. The giveaways included a variety of official FC Bayern memorabilia, such as jerseys signed by star players because Libertex is an Official Platinum Partner of FC Bayern. Additionally, Libertex is proud to share that its participation in iFX EXPO Asia 2024 culminated in winning the prestigious 'Best CFD Broker - APAC' award at the UF AWARDS APAC Ceremony hosted by Ultimate Fintech.
Running from 16 May 16 to 8 June, Libertex's exciting new trading competition, Trader Battles, is designed for traders using demo accounts on its MT4 and proprietary platforms. The tournament features four independent rounds of fast-paced trading over three days each week, offering participants a risk-free opportunity to sharpen their skills and compete for prizes. With $50,000 in virtual funds provided for each round, traders can test their strategies on a wide range of assets. Rewards include cash bonuses, access to the exclusive Omise Odyssey trading robot, and Gold Status treatment with premium account manager services.
Finally, the company is also proud to remain the Official Online Trading Partner of FC Bayern for a third consecutive year after holding the coveted Platinum Partner status throughout 2024. One of the highlights of our valued partnership this past year was a special viewing event for FC Bayern's UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg against Arsenal, which ended in a draw. Attendees included local sports media representatives, who enjoyed a selection of drinks, casual bites, and football-themed entertainment. Enhancing the experience, the press received an exclusive video greeting from FC Bayern players, delivered just moments before they took to the pitch. Both Libertex and FC Bayern always strive for excellence and never give up despite even the most trying circumstances, as evidenced by the Bavarian superclub's dedication to win the home leg 1-0 and progress to the semis.
We would like to close these annual highlights by taking a moment to thank all our valued clients, new and existing, without whom we would not have been able to accomplish all these wonderful feats. Everyone at Libertex would like to wish you all every success for the year ahead, and let's hope we can celebrate even more exciting milestones and achievements together in 2025!
