CFI Financial Group Posts Record Q3 2026 Trading Volume of USD 3.45 Trillion

CFI Financial Group, an online trading provider based in Dubai, reported a record notional trading volume of USD 3.45 trillion for the third quarter of 2026, the highest in its history. The figure more than doubled year on year, rising approximately 123%, and increased 14% from the previous quarter.

It was the group's 11th consecutive quarter of record trading volume, according to the company. Quarterly volume has nearly tripled since early 2025.

For the first nine months of 2026, trading volume reached USD 8.8 trillion, double the level of the same period last year. The figures reflect aggregated trading activity across the group's licensed entities. With three months remaining, CFI has already exceeded its full-year 2025 volume of USD 6.4 trillion by more than a third.

Client activity also increased. CFI executed 90 million trades in Q3 2026, twice as many as in Q3 2025, and more than 250 million trades so far this year. Deposit transactions rose 60% year on year in the third quarter and 43% over the first nine months.

Ziad Melhem, Group CEO of CFI Financial Group, said that surpassing the full-year 2025 trading volume in nine months was a significant milestone and reflected the scale and momentum the company had achieved. He added that CFI sees considerable opportunity ahead in expanding its reach and deepening its presence in the markets it serves.

Separately, CFI appointed Federico Cirulli as Chairman of the Board and François du Plessis as Country Chief Executive Officer of CFI South Africa. The group also introduced Gold 24/7 (XAUUSD-24H), an addition to its existing extended-hours trading products.

CFI received the Leading Broker in the UAE award at Forex Expo Dubai 2026 and Best Trade Execution of the Year 2026 at PROFX Expo Africa 2026.
