Germany-based copy trading platform grew AUM by 300% to €4M, with nearly €3B in monthly trading volume. GBE Brokers and BlackBull Markets emerged as top beneficiaries of the surge, capturing the bulk of new funded accounts. CTM is set to launch MT5 integration this November, propelled by the sponsorship of World of Trading expo in Frankfurt.
Germany-based copy trading platform CopyTrade Market (CTM) announces that it has completed the integration of the MetaTrader 5 platform into its multi-broker ecosystem.The MT5 will be available for signal providers from 1st of November. The official launch for clients who wish to follow signal providers via MT5 will be on 7th of November at the World of Trading exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany.
Compared to last year CTM has more than quadrupled its involvement in the World of Trading, the largest and most significant trading exhibition in Germany and the German-speaking trading world in general. With a total of 21 speakers, 36 presentations and a €300,000 live trading event in which six traders and signal providers demonstrate their skills live and being moderated by Miss Grand Germany Mona Schafnitzl, CopyTrade Market is significantly strengthening its German presence.
Unlike other copy trading solutions that rely on a broker’s traffic, CTM generates its own inflows via its licensed capital advisory and affiliate network and directly works with strategy creators. Only the top strategies with a solid track record make it into the curated list. All trades are carried out solely by BaFin or FSC-licensed asset managers.
Notably, CopyTrade Market recorded over 300% year-on-year growth in assets under management (AUM) and reached €4 Million Equity, while average monthly trading volume surged to nearly 3 yards per month, building upon its position as the only one of its kind operating from Germany.
CTM’s tightly-regulated ecosystem continued to deliver results for all parties involved: Clients, strategy providers and integrated brokers. Namely, GBE Brokers and BlackBull Markets were the top beneficiaries, capturing the largest share of new funded accounts.
Two brokers secured the lion’s share
GBE Brokers captured the largest share of this influx, securing the majority of new client accounts opened through CTM’s platform. GBE Brokers scooped a whopping 60% out of CTM’s yearly growth, not counting the side benefits of increased trading volumes or satisfied client retention. BlackBull Markets (BBM) followed as the second-largest beneficiary. Together, they accounted for the major bulk of the broker-side value generated by CTM’s AUM expansion.
The impact is straightforward for a broker:
Inbound, fully verified accounts without additional acquisition spend
Assets and volumes that stay within the broker’s infrastructure
Client retention engaged via curated, regulated trading strategies
High value clients with an average account size of 17.000 Euro
No compliance risk, as all copy trading execution is handled by licensed portfolio managers
No hassle of in-house development
A growth model that works
CTM’s business model is built as a trusted regulatory ecosystem of curated strategies, and transparent execution. The platform doesn’t rely on brokers to generate traction; instead, all parties involved grow together and benefit from each other.
Strategy creators get direct exposure to their target audience and easily raise their AUM without operational costs or effort.
Brokers enjoy a no-code integration, client retention, funded accounts and higher trade volume.
Retail traders find a secure platform with transparent strategy results and regulated asset managers executing those on behalf of them.
