Capital.com, a provider of contracts for differences (CFDs) trading services, ended the first three months of 2025 with $656 billion in client trading volumes, an 11 per cent increase from the previous quarter. Of the total trading volume, 53 per cent came from clients in the Middle East, followed by 24 per cent from European traders. Strong Trading Volumes Due to Volatility As highlighted by Christoforus Soutzis, CEO of Capital.com Europe, the rise in trading activity between January and March was “driven by increased market volatility, macroeconomic uncertainty, and renewed interest in key markets like the Nasdaq 100 Index and gold.” However, the broker has yet to disclose its trading statistics for April, a month during which most platforms saw a significant spike in trading activity due to tariff-related market volatility. VT Markets, another CFDs broker, recently revealed that it handled $720 billion in April , its “strongest-ever” monthly trading volume. IG Group also noted “ higher levels of client trading activity [in April] than expected in typical market conditions.” Read more: Tariff Volatility Pushes FX Trading - Firms See “Strongest Days” A Jump in New Accounts The Viktor Prokopenya-owned broker also revealed that more than 800,000 users opened new accounts on Capital.com in Q1 2025. “We’re seeing extraordinary momentum across our global business,” said Ariel Segev, Chief Financial Officer at Capital.com. This latest figure comes after Capital.com ended 2024 with client trading volumes exceeding $1.7 trillion . The Q1 2025 volume also marked a nearly 95 per cent increase compared to the same quarter a year earlier. According to the broker, 48 million trades were executed on its platform in Q1 2025, representing a 23 per cent increase over the previous quarter. It also noted that trades were executed “in as little as 0.024 seconds,” and 91 per cent of withdrawals were processed within 5 minutes. Meanwhile, Prokopenya, who owns Capital.com through VP Capital, sold his stake in Currency.com, a cryptocurrency platform, to a group of investors represented by CXNEST Ltd, which took full control of the platform earlier this year. The latest announcement from Capital.com also revealed that it now employs over 1,000 staff members across its global offices and continues to expand its teams in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. The broker announced in late 2024 that it plans to hire an additional 200 technology and engineering professionals.
