Capital.com Growth Driven by Middle East Traders

Capital.com Growth Driven by Middle East Traders, contributing 53% of Q1 2025’s total $656 billion trading volume. A CFDs (contracts for differences) trading provider, Capital.com, concluded the first quarter of 2025 with client trading volumes totaling $656 billion—an 11% rise from the previous quarter. Notably, clients from the Middle East generated 53% of this trading activity, while European traders contributed 24%.

Capital.com Growth Soars on Record Q1 Volume

According to Christoforus Soutzis, CEO of Capital.com Europe, the surge in Q1 trading was “driven by increased market volatility, macroeconomic uncertainty, and renewed interest in key markets like the Nasdaq 100 Index and gold.”

Despite these impressive figures, the broker has not yet released April’s trading data, a month during which many trading platforms saw a surge in activity due to tariff-induced market swings.

Competitor VT Markets recently announced a record-breaking $720 billion in trading volume for April, calling it its “strongest-ever” month. Meanwhile, IG Group also highlighted “higher levels of client trading activity [in April] than expected in typical market conditions.”

User Growth Spike

Owned by entrepreneur Viktor Prokopenya, Capital.com reported that more than 800,000 new users joined its platform during Q1 2025.

“We’re seeing extraordinary momentum across our global business,” said Ariel Segev, Chief Financial Officer at Capital.com.

This growth follows Capital.com’s record-breaking 2024 performance, which ended with over $1.7 trillion in client volumes. The Q1 2025 figure represents a nearly 95% year-over-year increase.

In the same period, Capital.com executed 48 million trades—a 23% jump from Q4 2024. The broker also noted that its platform processed trades “in as little as 0.024 seconds” and completed 91% of withdrawal requests within 5 minutes.

Separately, Prokopenya sold his stake in Currency.com, a crypto trading platform, to a group of investors represented by CXNEST Ltd, which assumed full control earlier in the year.

Capital.com also revealed it now employs over 1,000 staff globally and is actively growing its teams in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. In late 2024, the company announced plans to recruit 200 additional technology and engineering professionals.
