Capital.com revealed today (Tuesday) that the group’s net revenue between January and June jumped by 35 percent, while the total number of registered accounts grew by 63 percent. Although the broker did not provide any absolute figures for these two performance metrics, it told Finance Magnates that “revenue growth is in the triple-digit million range and registered accounts are in the millions range.”

Growing Trading Volume

The official press release of the broker further highlighted that the total client trading volume on its platforms for the first six months of 2024 reached $725 billion. The figure is 6 percent higher than the $683 billion in trading volume during the previous six months.

The latest figures came after the brokerage's trading volume exceeded $1.2 trillion in 2023. The half-yearly metrics also indicate the brokerage’s potential to surpass its previous year’s record by the end of the current year. Recently Tickmill revealed exclusively to Finance Magnates that its trading volume in MENA surpassed $135 billion.

Further, the total number of trades on the platform increased by 7 percent to 50 million in H1 2024, compared to 46 million in H2 2023.
