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.
