CFI Financial Group reported first-quarter 2025 trading volume of $1.28 trillion, marking a 13.5% increase from the previous quarter and a 129% rise compared to the same period in 2024, the company announced today (Wednesday). For the Dubai-headquartered broker, this marks another consecutive quarter of record client activity.

CFI Grows Client Accounts as Trading Volume Rises

Last year, CFI also reported a record-breaking start, although trading volumes at that time were more than twice as low, totaling $557 billion in Q1 2024. Since then, the company has seen significant quarterly jumps, reaching the current level of nearly $1.3 trillion.

The online trading provider also recorded upticks in client activity, with both funded and active accounts reaching new highs. Funded accounts rose 5.5% from the fourth quarter of 2024 and 75% year-over-year.

Active accounts increased 7.4% quarter-on-quarter and 92% from the first quarter last year. Funding transactions climbed 54% over the previous quarter and 148% year-over-year.

“The first quarter of 2025 sets the tone for a landmark year ahead for CFI,” said Hisham Mansour, Co-founder and Managing Director of CFI. “Surpassing new records once again is a testament to the passion of our global teams and the trust of our growing client base.”

During the quarter, CFI opened operations in Azerbaijan and launched CFI Prime, a service for institutional and professional traders. The company received industry awards at the iFX Expo and from ADVFN International Financial Awards.

CFI formed several partnerships in the quarter, participating in Kuwait’s Ya Hala Festival, Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Nights, and the Kayan Wellness Festival. It also became an official partner of the Kuwait Basketball Association.
