A Record-Breaking Quarter
Our growth in Q1 2026 was driven by three key factors: higher trading volumes, more active clients, and continued expansion beyond FX into other asset classes.
Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025:
- Daily trading volume: +18.3%
- Monthly trading volume: +14.5%
- Quarterly trading volume: +14.6%
- Active account number: +18.3%
This quarter-on-quarter growth reflects the rising demand for our institutional-grade pricing, multi-asset access, and technology-driven trading environment.
Traders Are Taking Notice
We welcomed even more active traders to our platform in Q1 2026.
Active accounts grew to 272,000 (up from 230,000 in Q4 2025) with an average volume of $6.28 million per account.
That 18.3% increase reflects growing confidence in EC Markets’ world-class platform and trading infrastructure.
Growth Across Every Market
We saw trading growth across the board in Q1 2026.
2% of our trading volume came from FX, while the remaining 98% was spread across other asset classes, including commodities, indices, and digital assets.
This split reflects just how far our multi-asset offering has come, as we continue to provide our traders with institutional-grade liquidity, fast execution, and a tightly regulated framework.
Strength Through Partnership
Our global partnership with Liverpool FC has continued to raise our profile across key international markets, supporting brand awareness and driving client acquisition where it matters most.
Looking Ahead
This milestone is not the finish line.
EC Markets will continue expanding across Asia, LATAM, and the Middle East through strategic partnerships, technology investment, and a commitment to global regulation.
As always, our vision remains the same: to build the ultimate trading experience, grounded in innovation, trust, and confidence.
