EC Markets Reports 157% Growth in Trading Volume, Active Clients Almost Double

EC Markets ended 2025 with a sharp increase in client trading activity, pushing its quarterly volumes to record levels. The broker reported total trading volume of $4.476 trillion in the fourth quarter, marking its strongest quarter of the year.

Trading volumes at EC Markets climbed consistently throughout 2025. The company recorded $1.737 trillion in Q1, followed by $2.319 trillion in Q2 and $3.081 trillion in Q3, before reaching a peak in Q4. Overall, quarterly volumes expanded by 157% from the first to the final quarter of the year.

Q4 Performance Caps a Year of Growth

Average monthly trading volume rose from $579 billion in Q1 to $1.492 trillion in Q4, while average daily volumes increased from $27.6 billion at the beginning of the year to $68.8 billion in the final quarter. The figures point to steadily rising engagement across the broker’s multi-asset trading platform.

Commenting on the results, Nicholas Xydas, Global Marketing Director at EC Markets, said the Q4 performance reflected the company’s infrastructure and client confidence.

“Scaling quarterly volumes by 2.6 times within a single year highlights not only growth, but also strong operational discipline and long-term strategic execution,” Xydas said. “As we move into 2026, our focus remains on innovation, resilience, and delivering a world-class multi-asset trading environment.”

Active Client Numbers Nearly Double

The surge in trading volumes coincided with a sharp rise in active traders. The number of active clients on the EC Markets platform increased from 118,000 in Q3 2025 to 230,000 in Q4, nearly doubling within one quarter.

The increase points to broader engagement across the broker’s forex and CFD offerings and reflects growing participation from multiple regions.

Non-FX Products Dominate Trading Activity

Data from the report showed that traditional FX trading accounted for only 5% of total volume in Q4 2025, with the remaining 95% generated from other asset classes, underscoring the broker’s shift toward diversified multi-asset flows.

In terms of global expansion, EC Markets last year opened a new office in Mexico City, marking its first physical presence in Latin America. The move followed the launch of operations in Mauritius and forms part of the company’s broader strategy to strengthen its global footprint.
