FXStreet
Spain-based international financial markets
Background
FXStreet was founded in 2000 in Barcelona, Spain, by Francesc Riverola as a Spanish-language forex information website aimed at Spanish and Latin American retail currency traders. Riverola soon brought on partners Miriam Pinatell, a graphic designer who became Head of Administration, and Sergi Fernández, a programmer who became CEO; all three remain in their roles today. The site expanded into English and other languages as its audience grew, establishing itself over the 2000s as a widely read source of real-time forex news, technical analysis, and economic calendars. FXStreet has always been bootstrapped — Riverola has publicly stated a preference for avoiding outside investors — and the company claims no affiliations with brokers or financial institutions, a stance it promotes as a mark of editorial independence. In 2017 the outlet broadened its scope to include cryptocurrency markets alongside traditional forex content. As of recent reports the company employs roughly 57 people, with a core team in Barcelona and approximately 30 remote collaborators worldwide covering markets 24 hours a day, five days a week, in multiple languages. No major editorial controversies have been publicly documented, and user reviews on platforms such as Trustpilot are largely positive, though some traders have noted that the site's trade-signal recommendations carry a low success rate. Major media-bias rating organizations such as AllSides have not assigned FXStreet a political-bias rating, reflecting its non-political, market-specialist character.
