How TigerWit Rebranded a Traditional Broker Into FinTech's Blockchain Pioneer — Reaching $27.5M

TigerWit set out to break from a stuck-in-its-ways brokerage image. We led a 48-week rebrand around its blockchain-based trade settlement — the industry's first distributed trading ledger — backed by its Liverpool FC partnership, and a copy-trading, mobile-first growth strategy. The result: 100K+ clients, 500K+ app downloads, and $27.5M in 2020 revenue.

01 — The Challenge

A broker stuck in the industry's old image.

TigerWit came to us with a perception problem. To most traders, a forex broker was a conservative, traditional institution — a category weighed down by decades of the same look, the same language, and the same trust concerns. Standing out meant more than a fresh coat of paint; it meant giving the brand something genuinely new to stand on.

The harder challenge was operational. As a regulated broker active across multiple jurisdictions, every market carried its own rules. Messaging, risk warnings, and promotional materials had to be constantly adapted per region — always within strict compliance limits — without slowing the pace of growth.

  • Multi-jurisdiction compliance — messaging and risk warnings varied by market
  • A conservative category perception traders had grown numb to
  • A trust gap versus larger, more established brokers
  • Making deep tech — blockchain trade settlement — legible to everyday traders

TigerWit wasn't short on ambition. It was short on a story the market hadn't heard before.

02 — What We Did

Three moves. One FinTech story.

We didn't rebrand with a logo and a slogan. We built the repositioning around what TigerWit could actually do that others couldn't — then made it easy to try and impossible to ignore. Three moves, one coherent FinTech story.

Copy Trading — "Fully Automated Trading"

Product Strategy

We put copy trading at the centre of the offer: clients could automatically mirror proven Master Traders in real time. It lowered the barrier for beginners, turned intimidation into participation, and drove engagement, volume, and retention across the base.

Aggressive Acquisition Offers

Growth Marketing

We paired the product with clear, generous acquisition incentives — a $50 welcome bonus for funding a new account, plus gifts — engineered to grow the base fast and convert sign-ups into funded, first-deposit traders.

Mobile-First Experience

Product & UX

A proprietary, intuitive app made trading, copy-trading, and account management effortless on the phone. Less complexity meant more downloads, more active traders, and high trading volume across global markets.

The Differentiator
  • Industry-first blockchain settlement — a distributed trading ledger giving verifiable execution and full transparency, something no traditional broker could claim.
  • Liverpool FC partnership — as Official Online Forex Trading Partner, the brand borrowed instant, global credibility at scale.
03 — The Results

The story landed.

The repositioning didn't just look different — it performed. Real innovation gave the brand something credible to say, and borrowed trust gave the market a reason to believe it. The numbers followed.

The Numbers
  • $27.5M revenue in the 2020 financial year, globally
  • $10M+ from a single country alone
  • 100K+ registered clients across markets
  • 500K+ app downloads on the mobile-first experience
  • +300% new clients / +200% new-business revenue in key emerging markets

A broker once seen as part of the old guard had become the category's blockchain pioneer — and the growth showed it.

Key Takeaways

What this case proves

01.Differentiate on real innovation. The blockchain settlement ledger made the brand credible, not just louder — a genuine reason to choose it.
02.Borrow trust. The Liverpool FC partnership bought instant global credibility a young brand couldn't build alone.
03.Lower the barrier. Copy-trading plus acquisition bonuses turned hesitant beginners into funded, active traders.
04.Compliance is a growth constraint, not a blocker. Messaging adapted per jurisdiction without ever stalling the growth engine.

A legacy category doesn't reward the loudest brand — it rewards the one with something real to stand on and the right partner to vouch for it.

FAQS

Questions? Answered.

What business owners ask before starting a project like this.

TigerWit was a 48-week engagement, end to end. We run rebrands in phases — positioning and strategy first, then identity, product story, and go-to-market — so each stage is validated before the next builds on it.

You adapt per market. Messaging, risk warnings, and promotional offers are tailored to each jurisdiction's rules — always within compliance limits — while keeping one consistent brand story underneath. Compliance shapes the message; it doesn't stop the growth.

Because it was real. TigerWit ran an actual distributed settlement ledger — the industry's first — enabling verifiable trade execution and transparency. The marketing pointed at a genuine capability, not a buzzword, which is exactly why the market trusted it.

When they fit, yes. The Liverpool FC partnership put TigerWit in front of a massive global audience and lent an unproven brand the credibility of one of football's most recognised clubs — driving recognition and trust at a scale paid media alone couldn't buy.

Yes. The playbook — differentiate on a real innovation, borrow trust from the right partner, and lower the barrier to entry — works for any category rebrand where the brand feels stuck, commoditised, or hard to trust.
