The group reported that the Middle East accounted for approximately 50 percent of total activity, underscoring the region’s growing importance.

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

The results reflect accelerated trading activity across key global markets, including strong and sustained engagement from clients in the MENA region, alongside continued investment in structured risk management, platform resilience and decision-support tools. This reinforces the Group’s ambition to continue establishing its platform as one that is 'Built for Better Decisions'.

Tarik Chebib, CEO of Capital.com MENA, said, “The Middle East - particularly the UAE - continues to play a central role in Capital.com’s global growth story. In 2025, we saw strong and sustained engagement from clients across the region, reflecting increasing sophistication, active participation in global markets, and a growing focus on disciplined, risk aware trading.

"Our priority in MENA is not scale for its own sake, but building resilient, regulated infrastructure and decision-support tools that help clients navigate volatility with clarity and confidence.
