Leading Retail FX and CFDs broker EC Markets has announced that the company recorded $4.476 trillion in total trading volume in Q4 2025, closing the year with its strongest quarterly performance to date.
The Q4 2025 results mark the culmination of a sustained growth trajectory that has defined EC Markets’ performance throughout the year.
Trading volume growth in 2025
EC Markets began the year with $1.737 trillion of client trading volumes in Q1 2025, increasing to $2.319 trillion in Q2, and reaching $3.081 trillion in Q3. In Q4, as noted above EC Markets achieved $4.476 trillion in quarterly trading volume.
Over the course of the year, EC Markets scaled quarterly trading volumes by 2.6x, representing a 157% increase from Q1 to Q4.
EC Markets’ average monthly trading volume rose from $579 billion in Q1 to $1.492 trillion in Q4, while daily volumes increased from $27.6 billion to $68.8 billion. This consistent upward trajectory reflects growing global trading activity across the company’s multi-asset platform.
230K active traders across global markets
Growth in volume was matched by growth in participation at EC Markets.
Active traders increased from 118,000 in Q3 to 230,000 in Q4, nearly doubling within a single quarter. This expansion highlights increasing engagement across its global forex and CFD offering, and reinforces EC Markets’ position as a regulated multi-asset broker with international reach.
Diversified growth across asset classes
5% of EC Markets’ trading volume in Q4 205 originated from FX activity, while 95% was generated across other asset classes. The company said that this diversified distribution reflects the strength of EC Markets’ multi-asset trading environment, with strong participation across commodities, indices, digital assets, and forex markets.
By combining institutional-grade liquidity, advanced execution technology, and a regulated framework, EC Markets said it continues to deliver a transparent and consistent trading experience across all market conditions.
Nicholas Xydas, global marketing director at EC Markets said,
“Our Q4 performance reflects the strength of our global infrastructure and the trust our clients place in us. Scaling quarterly volumes by 2.6x in a single year demonstrates not only growth, but operational discipline and long-term strategic execution.
“As we move into 2026, our focus remains on innovation, resilience, and delivering a world-class multi-asset trading environment.”
Throughout 2025, EC Markets said it strengthened its footprint across the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia and New Zealand, alongside continued expansion in LATAM and the Middle East, supported by regulatory development and infrastructure investment.
Looking ahead
As we move into 2026, EC Markets said its focus remains clear: sustainable growth, continued innovation, and strengthening its global trading ecosystem.
