With Forex and CFD trading gaining traction across Latin America and Asia, ActivTrades is increasing its focus on these regions. The firm said the move follows a sharp rise in trading activity in markets such as Brazil and Malaysia.
Industry data shows that Asia Pacific accounted for around 30% of global CFD broker revenue in 2023, while Latin America represented about 8%. The figures reflect growing retail participation and wider adoption of trading platforms in emerging markets.
Localisation and Language Expansion
In early 2025, ActivTrades invested in localizing its services for both regions. The company translated and adapted its app, website, and marketing campaigns into multiple languages and automated several client acquisition processes. The platform now supports up to 15 languages.

The firm reported that new account openings in Asia increased 6.5 times, while Latin America saw growth of 2.5 times. The trend was supported by wider internet access and a younger, more digitally active population.
“Instead of launching new products, we’ve focused on localizing and optimizing our existing offerings to better serve clients in these new regions,” Alex Pusco, Founder and Group CEO at ActivTrades.
“This included key infrastructural updates to our website to support multiple languages, safeguarding our alignment with regional demands.”
Client Acquisition Trends
In 2024, ActivTrades attracted 192,706 potential new clients, with 13,285 opening funded accounts — an 80% increase from the previous year. By year-end, 28,898 clients were actively trading, up 3% from 2023.
Expansion of Regional Operations
To maintain momentum, ActivTrades expanded its regional teams to strengthen customer support and marketing operations. Between June 2024 and June 2025, these measures contributed to a 104% increase in overall growth, based on lead generation, account conversions, and funded account numbers.
