TradingView has added market data from Matsui Securities, allowing users to access real-time prices and depth for key foreign exchange pairs.

Japan Dominates Global Retail FX Volumes

Japan has one of the world’s largest retail FX markets. Margin FX trading is widely used by retail investors, and the sector has grown steadily alongside CFDs in recent years.

According to Finance Magnates’ Q2 2025 Intelligence Report, average monthly trading volumes in the global retail FX and CFD industry surpassed $30 trillion. This represents a significant rise from levels below $10 trillion a decade earlier. Japan remains the world’s largest retail FX market. While growth has slowed in mature markets such as the EU and UK, the report notes strong expansion across Asia, led by India.

IG Japan Ended Crypto ETF CFDs

Separately, IG Securities, the Japanese arm of IG Group, stopped offering cryptocurrency ETF CFDs following updated guidance from Japan’s Financial Services Agency. From last December, new orders were no longer accepted, and pending orders were canceled.

The FSA had clarified that ETFs containing specific crypto assets were tied to underlying cryptocurrency prices, so derivatives on such ETFs fell under Japan’s crypto-related derivatives rules. Customers were required to close positions by January this year; any remaining positions were forcibly liquidated.
