Trading technology company Spotware Systems has launched a new bridge solution called cBridge.
Although the product has been live on the company’s website for a few weeks now, the firm formally announced the new product on Thursday afternoon as part of a wider report detailing the company’s activities in 2025.
It’s a sign of the big changes that have been taking place at the business over the last 12 months, with the firm moving from being a one-product company into a much broader trading technology firm.
“Spotware has always been at the forefront of innovation, and 2025 underscored this more than ever. We clearly demonstrated to the industry that we have evolved beyond a single-product platform developer, expanding our product offering through the introduction of cBridge and the rapid growth of cTrader Store,” Ilia Iarovitcyn, CEO, Spotware.
“Behind this shift was a major upgrade in how we plan, build and deliver. We implemented AI across our core operations, significantly expanding our capabilities and setting a stronger foundation for what comes next. These milestones set a clear direction for 2026—and we will take it further.”
Trading volume up 105%, with 2m traders added and 104 new corporate clients
In its report, Spotware said that cTrader saw a more than doubling of trading volume from brokers and other companies using the platform.
Trading volume on cTrader rose 105% last year in USD terms, compared to 2024 – a huge increase that may be down to a few factors.
Firstly, the company added 104 new corporate clients to its customer base in 2025.
To top that off, an additional 2m traders started using the platform over the period, something the firm believes is a reflection of the fact that traders recognise the firm for its transparent approach and the safeguards it puts in place to stop abuse.
Free leads and 10,000+ site visits, with cBot purchases rising six-fold
Also driving volume was the fact that cTrader now acts like a lead generation tool for brokers and prop firms.
The company’s site listings for brokers and props drove more than 10,000 site visits per day in some instances. There is no fee for these listings, meaning brokers and props get free leads from a highly targeted, trading audience.
The cTrader Store saw huge growth in 2025 as well, with millions of users now accessing plug-ins, indicators, and other tools that are available in the store.
cTrader Store installs averaged 700 per day, alongside a six-fold increase in paid purchases in under 12 months. These products allow traders to buy off the shelf automated trading strategies, which they can then tailor to their individual needs.
cTrader algo trading tools were enhanced last year too, with the introduction of Python support. This allows traders to develop automated trading strategies directly within the cTrader platform using the programming language.
AI resolves 60% of queries in 3 minutes
For brokers, the addition of AI tools into the cTrader developmental suite has been a huge boon.
This is particularly true when it comes to customer support. Traders on cTrader can now get automated AI responses for queries about the platform.
cTrader says that 60% of queries are now resolved by AI chatbots, with the average time to resolve the problem being just 3 minutes.
In addition to this, traders can access cTrader directly via other channels, like Discord, Email, social media, and directly on the cTrader website.
cBridge – cutting bridge costs by 80%
Spotware ended 2025, with the soft launch of cBridge. The company says that it can cut brokers’ bridging costs by 80%.
It’s a bold claim, but one that is made plausible by the fact that cBridge does not charge any volume fees.
The company’s platform has a huge range of features, including role-based dashboards that let compliance, dealing, and risk teams see what is happening with trading activity in real time.
The bridge, which is platform agnostic, has smart order routing settings, is scalable, and has zero downtime.
Launching cBridge at the end of the year marked a key turning point for Spotware. The company is no longer a one-product firm, but a multi-product technology company for the trading industry.
And there’s more to come in 2026.
