Robin Xu, Senior Partner and Senior Vice President of Southeast Asia and Oceania at Futu Holdings Limited, said: “Moomoo’s entry into Malaysia underscores our dedication to empowering various financial markets through technology. Guided by our mission of ‘Making investing easier, not alone,’ we strive to promote information equality, accessibility, and value creation within Malaysia’s dynamic economy. Through technology, we aim to promote information equality, making investment and wealth management more accessible, and creating value for local investors and capital markets. Malaysia’s dynamic economy, coupled with recent policy support, has seen rapid development in its capital markets. With Moomoo’s participation, we hope to inject even more dynamism into the market. As an investment platform connecting 21 million retail investors globally, we envision collaborating with exchanges, regulatory bodies, and partners in the visible future to become the gateway, connecting Malaysia’s investment products to global capital and investors.
“Malaysia with a relatively young population has seen a growing interest in self-directed investing. The country’s commitment to technological development and innovation led us to choose it as the second destination for expanding our presence in the Southeast Asia after Singapore. With Malaysia’s flourishing fintech landscape and supportive regulatory framework, there exists a clear demand for innovative investment solutions. We are confident that we can replicate the success we have seen in Singapore here and work hand in hand with investors and market participants to further enhance Malaysia’s capital markets and financial infrastructure competitiveness on both the regional and international stage.”
Ivan Mok, CEO of Moomoo Malaysia, added: “Our users benefit from unrestricted access to pro-grade tools and resources, typically associated with premium services. This reinforces our commitment to levelling the playing field, making self-directed investing simple, easy, and accessible to everyone, regardless of their experience level.”

Our platform is tailored to transform the way people invest, and empower Malaysian investors with the tools and resources they need to not only participate, but succeed in the financial markets.”
Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, CEO of Bursa Malaysia Berhad, said: “In today’s technology-driven market, it is important that the industry leverages data and digital tools to make investing more accessible and efficient. Investors want choice, and we encourage all Participating Organisations to harness the power of new technologies to enhance investing experiences for investors, and to promote greater financial inclusivity in Malaysia.
