South African CFD Broker Swyft Markets Rolls Out cTrader, Adds Social Trading Capabilities

Swyft Markets, a South Africa-based multi-asset CFDs broker, has officially integrated the cTrader platform into its trading ecosystem, strengthening its technology stack and introducing enhanced trading functionality for its clients.

The integration comes amid significant expansion within the cTrader ecosystem. In 2025, Spotware, the company behind cTrader, reported a 105% year-on-year increase in live USD trading volume across the platform, with its global user base exceeding 11 million traders.

Over the same period, Spotware onboarded 104 new clients and broadened its product suite, adding a liquidity bridge, marketplace solutions, and AI-driven enhancements. Adoption of cTrader Store and cTrader Leads also accelerated, further facilitating connections between brokers and proprietary trading firms.

Social Trading Feature Emphasizes Transparency

As part of the rollout, Swyft Markets has enabled cTrader Copy, the platform’s built-in social trading solution. The feature allows traders to follow and replicate strategies while maintaining full visibility of performance statistics and risk metrics.

According to the broker, the addition aligns with its objective of delivering diverse trading opportunities while maintaining strong standards of compliance and operational transparency. The firm highlighted transparency and regulatory alignment as central to providing a secure and ethical trading environment.

Broad Product Coverage and Scalable Infrastructure

Delivered under a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) model, cTrader enables brokers to benefit from continuous upgrades, new functionalities, and scalable infrastructure that can support international expansion. The platform offers access to more than 100 FX and CFD instruments, along with spread betting, in-app communication tools, and mobile push notifications.

Yiota Hadjilouka, Chief Operating Officer at cTrader, stated that the platform’s technology is designed to meet the needs of both beginner traders and experienced professionals. The latest integration further enhances social trading capabilities while expanding broker-side service tools.

Back-Office Update: cTrader Admin 9.9

In parallel with the front-end integration, Spotware has released version 9.9 of cTrader Admin, its back-office management system for brokers and proprietary trading firms. The update centers on workflow refinements rather than major feature launches.

Enhancements include displaying client email information within session views, consolidating workspace settings, streamlining navigation menus, introducing a Ticks tab in the Orders module, and simplifying symbol and liquidity feed configuration.

The combined updates reflect continued development across both client-facing and operational infrastructure within the cTrader ecosystem.
