GCEX UK Reports £3.8 Million Revenue

The company recently reported a 64% year-on-year increase in turnover for 2024, reaching £3.76 million. The firm also narrowed its pre-tax loss to £232,567, down from the previous year, despite a notable rise in operating costs.

Cost of sales more than doubled during the year, and administrative expenses rose 24%, with the increase attributed to intra-group charges, consulting services, staffing costs, and foreign exchange revaluation impacts.

The revenue boost was primarily driven by a 315% increase in crypto CFD trading volumes, reflecting improved sentiment and activity in digital asset markets following a prolonged downturn. The firm reported stronger revenue momentum beginning in the fourth quarter, with expectations of continued growth into 2025.

Holst noted that the growth was mirrored in the firm’s operations in Dubai and Copenhagen, contributing to what he called “a strong year” for the group.
