Capital.com Reports Strong 2025 Growth as Trading Volume Reaches $3.42 Trillion

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM , 24 February 2026 — Capital.com, a global fintech group operating in the regulated online trading sector, today published its 2025 trading platform activity summary, reporting $3.42 trillion in client trading volume for the year.

Trading volumes increased 92.1% year-on-year, rising from $1.78 trillion in 2024 to $3.42 trillion in 2025. The number of trades executed grew 87%, from 120.2 million to 224.8 million.

The results reflect accelerated trading activity alongside continued investment in structured risk management, platform resilience and decision-support tools, reinforcing the Group’s ambition to build a platform ‘Built for Better Decisions.’

Trading volumes are influenced by prevailing market conditions and do not indicate future performance.

Rupert Osborne, CEO, Capital.com UK, said:

“2025 was marked by sustained macroeconomic uncertainty and cross-asset repricing. In that environment, our priority was not simply scale, but strengthening operational resilience and deepening a structured decision-support framework within a regulated setting. Access to markets should be accompanied by tools that promote disciplined engagement, clear risk definition and ongoing review.

As activity increased, we continued embedding structured risk discipline directly into the platform’s architecture. Capital.com does not aim to stimulate trading frequency; our focus is on building infrastructure that helps reduce cognitive bias, reinforces predefined risk parameters and supports more deliberate execution under volatile conditions.”

Key Highlights

Market Environment and Activity Drivers

Trading activity during the year coincided with monetary policy divergence across major economies, commodity price volatility and heightened sensitivity to macroeconomic data releases. Millennials and Gen X accounted for the largest share of trading volumes, followed by Zoomers and Boomers.

Gold was the most actively traded instrument globally by both volume and trade count during the period, reflecting its established role during episodes of macroeconomic uncertainty and commodity price fluctuation.

Behaviourally, gold trading in 2025 was characterised by heightened sensitivity to short-term price moves. 73.8% of gold trades were closed within one hour, and 95.9% within 24 hours, indicating a strong bias toward intraday decision-making. This concentration is consistent with intraday trading patterns typically observed during periods of elevated volatility.

Elevated market participation required sustained platform stability during peak trading windows. Systems performance and service continuity were maintained across regulated entities, including during periods of heightened cross-asset volatility.

Globally, 22.59% of all positions had a stop-loss attached, compared with 22.01% in 2024 Stop-loss usage is monitored as a proxy for predefined risk parameters and disciplined trade structuring.

Usage was highest among Zoomers and Millennials. The increase suggests broader adoption of structured risk parameters during a year marked by volatility across asset classes.

All clients operate within the same regulated framework, risk disclosure standards and suitability requirements.

“Increasing the use of predefined risk parameters remains a structural objective, not a marketing metric. Our priority is to embed risk configuration into the decision-making process before execution, so that structured discipline becomes an integral part of how the platform is used, particularly during periods of heightened volatility,” added Osborne.

Decision-Support Tools and AI Development

Throughout 2025, Capital.com continued to strengthen its structured decision-support environment and platform resilience. Key developments included:

• Expanded charting and analytical tools to improve price context and multi-timeframe analysis
• Enhanced trade journaling to support structured post-trade review and behavioural awareness
• Continued development of risk architecture, including stop-loss enhancements to reinforce predefined risk parameters
• Infrastructure and monitoring upgrades to maintain execution stability during peak trading periods

The Group’s product roadmap incorporates behavioural analytics and AI-assisted tools designed to support risk definition before execution, enable real-time exposure monitoring and facilitate structured review of trading patterns. AI is being embedded not as a predictive signal, but as behavioural infrastructure intended to help narrow the gap between trading intention and execution in volatile market conditions.

Looking Ahead to 2026

While trading activity increased materially during 2025, Capital.com does not define progress by scale alone.

Strategic priorities for 2026 include:

• Increasing stop-loss adoption rates
• Expanding AI-driven behavioural safeguards
• Enhancing transparency around decision-quality metrics
• Continuing measured geographic expansion within regulatory frameworks
• Expanding multi-asset capabilities across equities, digital assets and long-term investment products

Capital.com operates under multiple regulatory licences across several jurisdictions and added authorisation from the Capital Markets Authority of Kenya in 2025.

The Group’s long-term focus remains the development of a global platform designed to improve decision quality within a regulated and governed structure.
