Dynamic Fintech Solutions has acquired the remaining Australian operations of AETOS, completing the exit of the previous owners from global contracts for differences (CFDs) activities under the AETOS brand. The Australian arm, known as AETOS AU, was previously mostly controlled by Chinese online entrepreneur Yongqiang Lu.
The new owner has taken full control of AETOS AU's operations and assets following the completion of a change of control process. While the financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, the deal covers AETOS AU's corporate entity, its Australian Financial Services licence, and all other financial services and operational activities conducted by the entity.
The transaction occurred at the shareholder level, which means there will be no impact on client accounts or existing trading activities, according to the information provided. Dynamic Fintech will retain the AETOS branding for the time being but intends to change it in the future.
Founded in 2007, AETOS began scaling back its CFD business in 2019, starting with a withdrawal from the Chinese market, which was then its largest market. The company surrendered its Vanuatu licence in May 2025 and ceased all operations outside Australia four months later. It also applied to relinquish its Mauritius and Seychelles operations, a process that the company says is now near completion.
The sale of the Australian business marks the full exit of the previous owners from the CFD business operated under the AETOS brand. In a statement, the company described the transfer of AETOS' Australian business as part of a broader strategic adjustment following an internal assessment. It added that, with the completion of the transfer of control of AETOS AU and its licensed business, AETOS has fully completed its exit from global online CFD trading services.
Dynamic Fintech intends to support AETOS AU's technology and operational development under its new ownership. The company plans to expand the overall operational team over time in line with business development needs. This expansion is aimed at enhancing system support capacity, operational efficiency and client service standards.
The change in ownership at AETOS AU comes amid similar moves by other CFD brokers in Australia. Estonia-headquartered Admirals has sold its Australian operations to PU Prime, another CFD broker, while Saxo Bank has divested more than 80 percent of its Australian business to a South African technology provider.
