CFI Financial, the Middle East-focused contracts for difference (CFD) broker, ended the fourth quarter of 2025 with $2.7 trillion in trading volume, making it the strongest three-month period for the broker to date.

In Q4 2024, the broker recorded trading demand of $1.12 trillion from its customer base, meaning the latest yearly increase was 141 per cent.

Trading Volume Continues to Climb

The record figure followed the broker’s reported $1.55 trillion in trading volume in the previous quarter. In the first and second quarters of last year, it handled $1.28 trillion and $1.5 trillion in trading volume, bringing the total yearly figure to $6.4 trillion.

Trading demand on the broker’s platform jumped 84 per cent year over year in 2025.

"Surpassing USD 2 trillion in trading volume in a single quarter and delivering record annual growth reflect the strength of our strategy, the discipline of our execution, and the trust placed in us by a growing global client base," said Ziad Melhem, Group CEO of CFI Financial Group. "As we enter 2026, our focus remains firmly on innovation, responsible expansion, and building world-class trading experiences at scale."

Apart from trading volume, the number of active clients at CFI rose by 3 per cent quarter-on-quarter in the last three months of the year. Its active client base also increased by 40 per cent year on year.

The number of funded accounts in the quarter also recorded a 16 per cent increase.

The latest figures closely reflected the broker’s growth trend, which continued throughout last year.

Entering New Markets?

CFI now appears to be expanding further within its core Middle East region after opening a new office in Bahrain. It has also gone live with eKey for Business in the country through an integration with Beyon Connect.

Furthermore, the group appears to be targeting Latin American markets and has obtained local authorisation in Colombia. Plus500 is another established CFD broker that has opened a representative office in Colombia.
