Futu Sees Record Growth on Soaring Trading Volume

Futu’s robust financial performance over the past year was underpinned by stronger operational metrics. As detailed in Thursday’s announcement, the platform’s trading volume for the January–March quarter surged by 140.1% year-on-year to HK$3.22 trillion. Of this, HK$2.25 trillion was traded in US equities, and HK$916 billion in Hong Kong-listed stocks.

Additionally, the number of funded accounts on Futu jumped 41.6% during the quarter, pushing the total beyond 2.67 million. Brokerage accounts also grew by 30% to exceed 4.95 million.

“Hong Kong remained the top contributor to new funded accounts, as our marketing initiatives effectively leveraged the Hong Kong market rally and IPO boom,” stated Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and CEO.
“Malaysia posted the fastest sequential growth in new funded accounts among all seven markets,” he continued. “After a year of rapid market share gains in Malaysia, we believe there is ample room for further growth and will continue to invest in our product and our brand.”

Li also pointed out notable growth in new funded accounts in Japan, with momentum picking up in the US as the company “enhanced offerings for active traders” and launched “high-profile advertising campaigns” to expand brand recognition.

Futu’s total user base grew 16.8% year-on-year, reaching 26.3 million. The total value of client assets rose by 60.2% to HK$829.8 billion, while the daily average client assets increased 64.7% to HK$790.4 billion.

“We continued to drive product innovation, offering retail investors advanced tools and a seamless investment experience,” Li added. “In Hong Kong, we launched Futubull AI, our in-house AI-powered investment assistant, and introduced a new desktop version with more intuitive tools and improved features. In Japan, we enhanced our US stock offerings by rolling out fractional share trading in Q1, followed by the launch of US options trading in April.”
