Capital.com continues its impressive global journey from the UAE, just under two years after joining the next generation of foreign direct investment and establishing a regional headquarters in Dubai. The rapidly growing trading platform announced a significant increase in trading activity during the first half of 2025, with overall trading volumes and regional performance illustrating its expanding global reach and attraction of new clients from both the region and new markets worldwide.
Global trading volume reached $1.5 trillion in the first half of 2025, marking a surge of 42.5% compared to $1.06 trillion in the latter half of 2024. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), trading value soared by 52%, outpacing the global growth rate and totaling $804.1 billion, up from $528.6 billion in the previous period. This accounts for 53.3% of total global trading, with the UAE representing 71.7% of the region’s overall transactions.
Tariq Shbib, CEO of Capital.com for the MENA region, stated: “The upward growth trajectory we’ve observed in the first half of 2025 reflects our rapid expansion from the UAE, demonstrating our ability to attract new traders across diverse markets and provide them with top-notch services.” He added, “The MENA region, specifically the UAE, continues to deliver exceptional growth rates, where traders exhibit both confidence and professionalism. At the same time, Europe remains a strong contributor to our global performance, further solidifying our position as a trusted international platform.”
