easyMarkets launched key upgrades to its web and mobile platform.
Leading CFD Broker, easyMarkets, released its Q1 2025 market recap, revealing key trends in global trading behaviours and highlighting significant developments across various sectors.
· Gold, Nasdaq, and EURUSD remain the top assets for the third consecutive quarter, with gold reaching near-record highs, closing in on $3,000.
· The crypto market saw a decline in Q1 2025 after strong momentum in 2024, as regulatory expectations for the crypto sector were not met.
· European indices surged, driven by increased defence spending amidst rising geopolitical tensions, attracting attention from traders seeking new opportunities.
· The Asia Pacific region saw a marked increase in trading volumes, with local traders actively shaping global trends in traditional assets and global indices.
Platform upgrades and risk management shifts:
easyMarkets launched key upgrades to its web and mobile platform, enhancing the overall user experience. In addition, the company observed a slight decline in the use of Guaranteed Stop Loss orders, indicating that traders are adjusting their risk management strategies.
Nikos Antoniades, CEO of easyMarkets, commented: “Our clients’ shift from crypto to European indices highlights how quickly they are adapting to macroeconomic developments. At easyMarkets, we are committed to providing the tools and stability traders need to stay agile in a fast-moving market.”
Looking ahead:
As global geopolitical tensions and U.S. political developments continue to shape market sentiment, easyMarkets is confident that its clients will continue to capitalise on new opportunities in Q2 2025.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
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
