The number of active retail CFD traders stays at 100,000 in Australia.
In 2021, the average Australian trader deposited more than $8,400 into their CFD account.
After a record surge in activity in 2020, the past year has maintained a very high number of Australian retail investors actively seeking to multiply their funds using contracts for difference (CFDs). Finance Magnates Intelligence has analyzed the historical growth in the number of traders, which shows that Australia has one of the highest percentages of investors globally.
More than 100,000 Australians Traded FX/CFDs in 2021
Australia is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of land area but has 'only' 25 million inhabitants. It ranks among the world's largest economies in terms of nominal gross domestic product per capita (ninth) and is one of the best places to live in terms of the Human Development Index (HDI).
It has a strongly developed investment market, with at least 1.4 million retail investors actively involved every year. The number has more than doubled over the last decade and was estimated to be around 650,000 in 2010.
The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is among the world's 20 largest by total market capitalization. In December 2021, it amounted to USD 1.9 trillion (in comparison, the world's largest NYSE capitalization was less than USD 28 trillion).
In addition, the buoyant financial market and a large number of retail investors translated into high interest in investing in leveraged derivatives markets, including forex (FX) and contracts for difference (CFDs).
According to the latest Investment Trends report data, more than 100,000 Australians have entered into at least one FX or CFD transaction in 2021.
"On a per-capita basis, this is amongst the largest penetration of CFD/FX in the world. To put things in perspective, the US margin FX market is only twice as big for a population more than an order of magnitude larger," the Investment Trends representative stated.
ASIC Is One of the World's Most Respected Financial Regulators
Australia has one of the best-regulated derivatives markets, and the regulator's license is highly respected and recognized within the industry. In order to operate a legitimate financial business in the country, a company must obtain an AFS license, which is detailed on the regulator's website.
The latest report published by ASIC on the number of licenses issued shows that the institution granted 339 new AFS authorizations in the 2020-2021 fiscal year, receiving 565 registration applications during the same period.
A Large Number of Retail Investors in Australia. An Increase of 40,000 in Four Years
The Investment Trends report published in January 2022 showed that the number of active retail CFD traders stood at 100,000 last year, slipping from the record high of 117,000 reported the year before.
However, this is still a considerable increase compared to previous years. In 2017, 61,000 Australians made at least one transaction in this market; in 2018 and 2019, the figure hovered at around 75,000 to 79,000.
The year of the Covid-19 pandemic, which brought above-average market volatility, boosted retail traders' activity, allowing a record number of active investors.
Daniel Lee, Regional Sales Manager for Vantage in Australia
"The
widespread outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 has triggered unrelenting waves
of unforeseen market volatility. This volatility has brought about a new
generation of investors and traders that look to capitalise on both upwards and
downwards price action. Coupling leverage with how quick moving the CFD markets
can be, Vantage has experienced a surge of new clients that have strong
interests with trading forex, gold and indices CFDs," Daniel Lee, the Regional Sales Manager for Vantage in Australia, commented.
"There could be a number of contributing factors to this outcome: relatively high penetration of cash equities investing which is a feeder market, proximity to Asia which tends to be a breeding ground for fintech, a regulatory framework historically more accommodative; but the most direct link is likely the prolific supply side in the form of the many platforms participating in, and contributing to growing, the market," Investment Trends added.
Tightening Leverage Regulations Do Not Bother Australians
According
to Daniel Lee, the Regional Sales Manager for Vantage in Australia, ASIC's
Product Intervention Order "has undoubtedly played an impact on the
Australian landscape for CFD and forex trading."
16% of retail traders have successfully
applied for professional trader status. This is a definite jump from previous
years, including 2020, when a similar status was achieved by 7% of all active
traders.
"Such requests are not
uncommon across the industry, though they are limited to clients who are
qualified for being treated as professional investors. That is, either they
have met the previous experience and knowledge requirements, or they pass the
wealth test, of having a gross income of $250,000 or more per annum in each of
the previous two years and/or net assets of at least $2.5 million," Daniel
Lee added.
Interestingly, FX/CFD traders were also much more willing to look at cryptocurrencies. According to the survey, 33% of them use this asset class or trade cryptocurrencies based on contracts for difference. The youngest representatives of this group have the most bullish attitude and positive sentiment towards bitcoin and altcoins.
The 2021 report notes that 40% of Zoomers and 35% of Millenials believe in the long-term appreciation of digital assets.
Average Trader in Australia Deposits over $8,000 in a Month
According to cPattern data aggregated by Finance Magnates Intelligence, throughout 2021 (data for the period January to October) the average Australian trader deposited more than $8,400 into their FX/CFD account (the median for the same period was almost $7,000). Meanwhile, the average single deposit stood at around $1,220.
Withdrawals of funds during this time were lower, and in 2021 the average for a single month recorded $2852, more than three times the amount of deposits. In contrast, the value of a single withdrawal reached a ceiling of $1450.
Furthermore, statistics of the first deposit (FTD) might be interesting, especially from the broker's point of view. From January to October 2021, the average stood at $1,014 and the median at $643.
Compared to other developed financial markets, these values align with the general trend. However, by comparison, Singapore had much higher numbers for the same period, with an FTD of $1,743.

Damian's adventure with financial markets began at the Cracow University of Economics, where he obtained his MA in finance and accounting. Starting from the retail trader perspective, he collaborated with brokerage houses and financial portals in Poland as an independent editor and content manager. His adventure with Finance Magnates began in 2016, where he is working as a business intelligence analyst.
In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
