Retail brokerage group Capital.com said on Tuesday that it had generated $1.5trn in trading volume globally during the first six months of the year.
The majority of volume came from the Middle East and North Africa. Traders in the region generated $804.1bn in volume over the first half of the year – or just over 50% of total volumes.
Capital.com also noted that it had approximately 35,000 clients across MENA and they placed 35.5m trades during the six month period.
That would mean those traders averaged 2.3 trades every second for the entire six month period, with the average customer placing north of 1,000 trades.
The majority of those traders are in the UAE, which constituted 71.7% of total MENA clients at Capital.com
Europe was another key region for the broker, with 14.9% of total volumes – or $224bn – coming from the continent. The broker highlighted Germany and Italy as key regions in Europe.
“Our growth trajectory in the first half of 2025 demonstrates the strength of our platform and our ability to serve traders across diverse markets,” said Capital.com MENA CEO Tarik Chebib.
“The MENA region continues to show remarkable momentum, with traders demonstrating both confidence and sophistication in their approach. At the same time, Europe remains a solid contributor to our global performance, reinforcing our position as a truly international platform.”
