Capital.com Reports Strong Q1 2025 Performance
“With client trading volumes totalling $656 billion in Q1 alone, we’re seeing extraordinary momentum,” said Ariel Segev, Chief Financial Officer at Capital.com. “This growth underscores our dedication to providing broader market access and intelligent trading tools.”
Client engagement was equally strong, with 48 million trades executed in Q1—up 23% from the prior quarter. Trades were in as little as 0.024 seconds, and 91% of withdrawals were within five minutes, showcasing the platform’s speed and reliability.
Christoforos Soutzis, CEO of Capital.com Europe, noted that the uptick in trading was driven by market volatility, economic uncertainty, and renewed interest in key instruments like the Nasdaq 100 Index and gold.
The most actively traded markets in Q1 were major stock indices, led by the Nasdaq 100, followed by gold. According to Soutzis, interest was by the U.S. presidential primaries and concerns over inflation and geopolitical risks.
Also, traders from the Middle East were the most active, accounting for 53% of trading volume, followed by Europe at 24%.
So, Capital.com is expanding its product and engineering teams across Europe, the Middle East, and Australia, with plans to hire 200 additional professionals to support innovation and global growth.
