Tickmill Reports 40% Jump in Trading Volumes, Citing Client Demand and Brand Refresh

Tuesday, 20/01/2026 | 15:03 GMT by Jared Kirui
  • The number of trades executed by the broker last year increased by 24% year over year.
  • On average, Tickmill reportedly handled about 500,000 client trades per day throughout the year.

Tickmill ended 2025 with a sharp rise in trading activity, processing $2.36 trillion in client volume and 123 million trades over the year. The broker reported that client trading volume reached $2.36 trillion, equivalent to an average of $197 billion per month.

Trading Activity Surges in 2025

Average monthly trading volume rose 40% compared with the prior year, while the total number of trades executed increased 24%. December 2025 marked the busiest month for the firm, with client turnover hitting $300 billion.

On an average trading day across the year, the firm processed around 500,000 client trades through its infrastructure. Additionally, the broker’s client engagement increased last year. Activated client growth rose 27%, and new registered accounts climbed 28% year on year.

To support higher volumes and broader client demand, Tickmill expanded its global headcount by 32%. The firm also completed a brand refresh during the year, which it says helped improve visibility and consideration in key markets.

Tickmill views the 2025 results as a new reference point for its trading and client metrics. The firm says it has incorporated trader feedback into its planning for the 2026 product suite and intends to focus on areas that directly affect execution quality and user experience.

Laying the Groundwork for 2026

Over the course of 2026, Tickmill plans to introduce a series of platform enhancements and product expansions. These changes will target the end‑to‑end trading experience, from functionality and usability improvements to new tools intended to support more advanced trading approaches.

Towards the end of last year, Tickmill opened a new office in Kuwait City, extending its Middle East footprint following the launch of its Oman location last month as part of the company’s broader regional expansion drive.

The broker then signed local social media influencer Musaed Alfouzan as its brand ambassador. Alfouzan is a prominent internet personality in the Arab world based in Kuwait. He has more than 2.7 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.6 million followers on TikTok. Nonetheless, Tickmill’s UK unit saw its 2024 trading volume fall to $136 billion in notional value, down from $189 billion a year earlier.

    Executive Interview | Brendan Callan | CEO, TRADU | FMLS:25

    Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner. In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences. We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading. This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
