Lead Trade acquires TopOtiption broker

Top news in the binary options market this season is that one of our recommended brokers, TopOption, has changed the owner. Before the transfer, the company had belonged to the online gaming giant Playtech.

Following the decision of Playtech to exit binary options business and focus on other aspects of the company’s activity, TopOption was acquired by Leadtrade Ltd. The company is Israeli based and CySEC licensed and operates a few other successful binary options brokers.

It is not entirely clear when this transition took place exactly, but it came to the attention of the TopOption users already on August the 7th this year through the message (see the screenshot below) on the broker’s website. The notification has read:

We wish to inform you that as of 7th August 2016 your trading account has been migrated to Leadtrade Ltd (“LTL”).

Please note that your account will not be activated unless you accept all the Policies and Terms and Conditions of Leadtrade Ltd.
