Capital.Com Reports $656 Billion In Client Trading Volumes In Q1 2025 - Staff Numbers Surpass 1,000 As The Company Grows Its Bench Strength Across Tech And Engineering Teams

Capital.com, the high-growth global trading platform and fintech group, today announced strong trading activity in the first quarter of 2025, marking a solid start to the year amid global market volatility and heightened client demand. 

For the period 1 Jan 2025 to 31 March 2025, the platform reported $656 billion in client trading volumes. This is 11% higher than the previous quarter. Over the same period, the number of users who opened a new account on Capital.com reached over 800,000. 

The platform’s solid quarterly performance follows a record-breaking 2024, during which client trading volumes exceeded $1.7 trillion. As Capital.com continues to scale, the company has now surpassed 1,000 employees globally, marking a major milestone in its evolution from a fast-growing start-up to a high-growth fintech. 

Ariel Segev, Chief Financial Officer at Capital.com, commented:

"With client trading volumes totalling $656 billion in Q1 alone, we’re seeing extraordinary momentum across our global business. This growth not only reflects the strength of our platform but also our commitment to give clients access to a broader range of markets and smarter tools. As we grow our team beyond 1,000 people, our focus is on innovation, diversification, and delivering choice for every trader."

Client engagement levels in Q1 were equally robust.  The number of trades executed on the platform in Q1 2025 totalled 48 million, reflecting a 23% increase over the previous quarter. Strong client activity in the first quarter of this year coincides with Capital.com’s commitment to speed and reliability where trades are executed in as little as 0.024 seconds and 91% of withdrawals are processed within 5 minutes. 

“We saw a significant rise in trading activity in Q1, driven by increased market volatility, macroeconomic uncertainty, and renewed interest in key markets like the Nasdaq 100 Index and gold,” explained Christoforus Soutzis, CEO, Capital.com Europe. “Our clients are responding to global events in real time, and our platform is enabling them to act quickly, confidently, and with greater speed than ever before,” he added.

In the first quarter of 2025, the most actively traded markets on the Capital.com platform were major stock market indices, notably the Nasdaq 100 Index. This was followed by commodity markets, primarily gold. 

“Interest in these markets were fueled by increased market attention surrounding the US presidential primaries, and sentiment regarding potential Trump administration policies. Meanwhile, ongoing inflation worries and geopolitical instability sustained the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset,” explained Soutzis.

Clients from the Middle East were the most active traders in Q1 2025 and accounted for the highest volume of trades over the period (53%), followed by traders from Europe (24%), affirming Capital.com’s growing presence in these markets.

Building on this momentum, Capital.com is actively expanding its product and engineering teams to support the development of new trading and investment products. The company is currently hiring across its global offices in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. In  late 2024, Capital.com announced plans to onboard 200 additional tech and engineering professionals. 

"Great products are built by great people. As we grow our global footprint, we are committed to matching top-tier talent with a bold product vision—ensuring we continue to lead the market with innovation that puts our clients first," added Soutzis.
