Digital Economy on the Rise: Trillions Traded Daily, Podcasts Enter Financial Spotlight
As the global economy undergoes a rapid digital transformation, the daily average trading volume in the foreign exchange markets has surpassed $7.5 trillion, according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). This surge reflects a growing appetite for liquidity and a proliferation of opportunities in global financial markets.
In the Middle East, digital trading is experiencing a remarkable annual growth rate of 23% since 2020—fueled by increased financial awareness and the rise of digital education tools. Amid this evolution, podcasts have emerged as powerful platforms for delivering financial knowledge in an accessible, human-centric way.

Mindset Matters – Examining how positive thinking shapes financial decisionmaking.
Daily Affirmations – Integrating affirmations into daily mental routines.
Unwind Weekend – Encouraging mindful relaxation as a tool for long-term resilience.
From Podcast to Drama: A New Era of Content Marketing Ismail Haj, Chief Marketing Officer at EVEST, describes the company’s approach to content not just as marketing, but as storytelling with purpose:
Ismail Haj, Chief Marketing Officer at EVEST
“At EVEST, we don’t just offer Trading services—we tell stories that inspire and build long-term relationships. Edutainment is a gateway to meaningful engagement. Last year, we launched a 10-episode comedy-drama called 1-0, which follows a young man's journey into the world of investing. It struck a chord with audiences and surpassed 100 million views across platforms.”
Haj adds, “The series delivered a human message through edutainment, allowing us to reach a new demographic that doesn’t typically engage with conventional financial content. EVEST TALK continues that philosophy. It’s a flexible, engaging platform where financial concepts are unpacked in a real, relatable way. This kind of content builds brand trust, fosters loyalty, and positions EVEST as a forward-thinking company that understands both the logic and emotion behind investing”.
EVEST’s innovative content strategy has translated into strong audience loyalty, broader community engagement, and a growing reputation as a brand that’s not only trustworthy but also refreshingly modern and connected to the real lives of investors.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
