Naga Group Expands Investment Opportunities with Romanian Shares
The Naga Group, a prominent fintech company based in Romania and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has recently made a significant advancement by integrating Romanian shares into its global investment platform. With an impressive user base of 2.1 million worldwide, Naga is poised to transform the landscape of investment opportunities for its clientele.
Direct Access to Romanian Companies
This integration makes Naga the first international broker to provide direct access to shares of Romanian companies on both the main market and Aero. By facilitating investments in the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) on a global scale, Naga is ensuring that its customers can seamlessly invest in one of Eastern Europe’s emerging markets.
Exclusive Promotion for Retail Investors
As part of this rollout, Naga has announced an exciting promotion: retail customers who open an account within the first three months of the launch will benefit from a 0% commission on the purchase of shares listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange throughout 2025. This initiative is expected to attract new investors eager to explore the potential of Romanian equities.
History and Growth of Naga Group
Originally founded as a startup in Germany, Naga Group has seen remarkable growth since its acquisition by Romanian competitor Capex in 2024, owned by Octavian Pătrașcu. Now, as the CEO and majority shareholder, Pătrașcu, 38, has driven the company’s rapid profitability and expanded global presence, which now includes ten offices across four continents.
Regulatory Compliance and Global Reach
Naga is regulated by several financial authorities, including CYSEC in Cyprus and the FCSA in South Africa, and has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2017. The company’s operations encompass 190 countries, boasting €62.3 million in revenue and holding 11 licenses across trading, crypto, and payments sectors. In Romania, Naga is registered with the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF), ensuring adherence to local regulations.
Future Aspirations: Naga’s Roadmap
The company’s roadmap is ambitious, with plans to reach 5 million users through the launch of a new app version and the innovative Naga One Superapp. This app will incorporate AI trading, social trading agents, and a dedicated trading assistant, enhancing the user experience significantly.
Innovative Services and Market Goals
Naga’s focus is set on delivering comprehensive financial services, allowing users to invest in shares, CFDs, hold physical cryptocurrencies, and make payments right from the Superapp. Additionally, the company aims to offer competitive interest rates of up to 7.5% on inactive funds, further enticing users to engage with its financial ecosystem.
Strategic Plans for Market Expansion
To broaden its market presence, Naga’s management is prioritizing a dual listing on U.S. markets while shifting from traditional long-term commissions to a subscription model. This strategic move is designed to attract a wider audience and maintain user engagement in a fragmented market landscape. Octavian Pătrașcu emphasized the importance of creating an all-in-one application that caters to diverse financial needs.
Naga’s recent entry into the Romanian market, although still developing, has already set the stage for future growth. Currently, Romanian users cannot purchase shares or obligations held by the company, but with upcoming features, Naga aims to enhance investment capabilities for all clients.
