Aquariux has integrated the Pelican Network copy-trading module into its global AQX Trader platform. This upgrade allows brokers across 133 countries to provide clients with immediate access to 9,000 live trading strategies.
Why it matters
By embedding this infrastructure, brokers can offer a populated strategy marketplace at launch to drive client acquisition and platform engagement. The move follows significant growth for Aquariux, which saw its platform volume rise by more than $21 billion year on year.
The Pelican Network manages over 1.5 million copied positions daily with an average of $2 million in performance fees distributed monthly. Strategy provider Gemslime recently set a record by earning $700,000 in fees during June 2026.
The players
Aquariux
This Singapore-based fintech company provides trading technology platforms for brokers globally.
Pelican Network
Based in London, this firm operates a regulated social and copy-trading infrastructure network.
Gemslime
This individual strategy provider operates within the Pelican Network and earned record performance fees.
The details
Brokers embed the Pelican infrastructure directly into their white-label AQX Trader web and mobile interfaces to streamline operations. This setup enables end users to browse and manage trades without leaving their broker's existing ecosystem.
Timeline
Aquariux established its Singapore headquarters in 2020.
Aquariux and Pelican commenced integration development in March 2026.
Provider Gemslime earned $700,000 in fees in June 2026.
The companies officially published this integration news in October 2026.
Market Dynamics
This integration follows the industry shift toward white-label copy-trading as a primary tool for broker-led client acquisition. It positions Aquariux to compete more aggressively by allowing brokers to bypass the development of proprietary strategy portals.
Retail traders using brokers powered by AQX Trader now gain access to a wider pool of professional strategies managed by experienced providers. This integration reduces the barrier to entry for users looking to replicate established trading patterns within their existing accounts.
The takeaway
Copy-trading remains a central strategy for brokerages seeking to increase engagement among less experienced traders. Investors should note that performance fee structures, such as those seen with top providers, are a significant component of this ecosystem.
