Doo Group Volume Hits Seven-Month Low in January 2025 as Trading Slows

Wednesday, 19/02/2025 | 07:24 GMT by Damian Chmiel
  • The company's trading activity fell to $107.01 billion last month, marking the lowest since June 2024's $105.6 billion.
  • Gold trading emerged as the top performer with an 11.99% volume increase, driven by market uncertainty following Trump's return to office.

Doo Group reported its lowest monthly trading volume since June 2024, with January figures reaching $107.01 billion, as seasonal factors and market adjustments impacted trading activity, including Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Doo Group's January Trading Volumes Hit Seven-Month Low

The financial technology services provider saw volumes decline 3.65% from December, settling at levels not seen since June 2024's $105.6 billion. Despite the monthly dip, year-over-year comparisons showed a 29.77% increase, marking the best January in history.

Average daily volume (ADV) in the previous month decreased to $3.45 billion, reflecting broader market conditions and traditional seasonal patterns. January typically sees reduced trading activity due to holiday periods.

“Due to the festivities in January, some of the investors have also decreased their trade, contributing to the decline in the trading volume,” commented Doo Group. “Despite that, Doo Group has showcased our resilience, with just a slight decrease as compared to last month.”

The company's trading metrics also indicate a shift in investor preferences, with gold emerging as a notable exception to the general slowdown.

XAU/USD trading pairs demonstrated particular resilience, posting an 11.99% increase in volume and ranking as the most actively traded instrument. Other popular trading products included EUR/USD, Nasdaq 100, GBP/USD, Dow Jones and USD/JPY.

New Limassol Office

Doo Group, which secured a Cyprus license in late 2023, has expanded its presence by opening a new office in Limassol, a key financial center in the Mediterranean. The company recently announced that this new location is its largest office in Europe.

This appears to be Doo Group’s second office in Cyprus, as the listed address differs from the one registered with the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC ). The broker also noted that approximately 80 employees are working from the new space.

Doo Group received its Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) license in September 2023, according to regulatory records, though the company publicly disclosed it in November. The license allows the firm to offer derivative products, including contracts for difference (CFDs), across European markets.
