Capital.com reports strong Q1 2025 results
Capital.com hits $656B in Q1 trading volume
Capital.com, a fast-growing fintech company and multi-asset trading platform, delivered impressive results in the first quarter of 2025, reporting a client trading volume of $656 billion.
This figure represents an 11% increase compared to the previous quarter, highlighting strong market momentum and growing client interest amid ongoing global uncertainty, the broker noted on its website.
From January to March 2025, more than 800,000 new accounts were opened on the platform—clear evidence of Capital.com’s growing international appeal. The company, which recorded over $1.7 trillion in total trading volume in 2024, has now surpassed 1,000 employees worldwide, marking a key milestone in its evolution from a start-up to a leading fintech group.
Internal growth drivers and technological advantages
“With client trading volume reaching $656 billion in the first quarter alone, we’re seeing extraordinary momentum across our global business,” said Ariel Segev, Chief Financial Officer at Capital.com. “This growth reflects not only the strength of our platform but also our commitment to giving clients access to a broader range of markets and smarter trading tools.”
Capital.com’s first-quarter growth was fueled by increased market volatility, which contributed to a 23% rise in the number of trades—totalling 48 million orders. The platform has also enhanced execution speed and reliability, with trades completing in just 0.024 seconds and 91% of withdrawals processed in under five minutes.
Macroeconomic impact and trader behavior
Christoforos Soutzis, CEO of Capital.com Europe, pointed to macroeconomic and political factors as key drivers of trader activity. “We saw a significant rise in trading activity in Q1, driven by elevated market volatility, macroeconomic uncertainty, and renewed interest in major markets such as the Nasdaq 100 Index and gold. Our clients are responding to global events in real time, and our platform empowers them to act faster and more confidently than ever before,” he explained.
Regionally, traders from the Middle East led activity in Q1 (53% of total trades), followed by Europe (24%), reinforcing Capital.com’s strong and expanding presence in both emerging and established markets.
Expansion strategy and talent focus
Looking ahead, the company is actively expanding its product and engineering teams across Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. In late 2024, Capital.com announced plans to hire 200 additional technical specialists.
“As we expand our global footprint, we are committed to pairing top-tier talent with bold product vision—ensuring we continue to lead the market with innovations that put our clients first,” Soutzis emphasized.
Notably, in February 2025, Capital.com announced the expansion of its partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). The goal of this collaboration is to enhance the trading experience by integrating real-time LSEG market news, analytics, and sentiment data into the Capital.com platform.
