Nexo Integrates MetaTrader 5, Letting Clients Trade Forex, Commodities and Major Indices

Nexo has taken a decisive step beyond pure crypto services, announcing an integration with MetaTrader 5 that lets its customers trade traditional markets directly from the Nexo platform . The move, which went live on October 14, 2025, introduces Contracts for Difference (CFDs) across equity indices, commodities and major forex pairs, a clear sign that Nexo is positioning itself as a full-spectrum wealth platform that spans both digital and conventional finance.

Under the new arrangement, Nexo clients will be able to access CFDs on headline instruments such as US500, US100, US30 and DE40 indices, gold and silver, oil and platinum, and the major FX pairs tied to USD, EUR, GBP, JPY and AUD. The MetaTrader 5 build brings the same institutional-grade plumbing used by professional traders: next-generation charting, built-in indicators, customizable layouts and support for algorithmic strategies through Expert Advisors (EAs).

Operationally, the integration promises low-latency execution and deep liquidity, attributes that matter to active and high-volume traders. Nexo says users will be able to trade via both web and mobile interfaces, and the MT5 engine will underpin automated strategies and advanced order types for those who want to program or copy trading logic.

One of the more notable features for existing Nexo customers is the ability to fund MT5 trading accounts using Nexo’s Credit Line. In short, users can borrow against their digital assets instead of selling them to access capital for CFD trading. Nexo also highlights leverage options, including up to 200x on certain asset classes, giving traders the ability to amplify exposure where regulation and jurisdiction permit. As with all derivative and leveraged products, that upside comes with elevated risk.

Seamless Experience

The company has tried to keep the experience seamless: asset transfers into and out of MT5 are initiated inside Nexo’s interface, so customers do not need to juggle separate log-ins or external bridges. The firm says the integration is rolling out subject to local jurisdictional availability, reflecting the patchwork of rules that govern CFDs and leveraged products around the world.

For Nexo, the MT5 integration is another step in a broader strategy to bridge digital assets and traditional finance. The firm, which has positioned itself as a digital-assets wealth platform since 2018, points to its scale and footprint as part of that push: Nexo reports it operates in more than 150 jurisdictions and says it manages in excess of $11 billion in assets while having processed hundreds of billions in transactions. The company frames the MetaTrader 5 launch as part of its mission to offer clients a single place to grow, manage and preserve wealth across both crypto and legacy markets.

Traders who already use MT5 will likely welcome the convenience of staying inside the Nexo ecosystem, while existing Nexo customers unfamiliar with derivatives will face a new learning curve. Either way, the move underscores a trend we’ve seen across the industry: crypto platforms expanding into established financial products to capture a broader slice of client capital and to offer more complete wealth-management toolkits.
