VT Markets reported a
record $8 trillion in trading volume during the first six months of 2026, an
increase of 212% compared with the same period a year earlier, as market
volatility drove activity across foreign exchange, precious metals and equity
indices.
The latest figures
continue a trend of rising trading activity at the broker. In May 2025, Finance
Magnates reported that
VT Markets recorded a then-record monthly trading volume of $720 billion
during April. Earlier that year, the company also said its
annual trading volume had increased 150%, alongside growth in deposits and
first-time traders.
According to the
broker, the first half of 2026 was marked by currency swings, changing interest
rate expectations and geopolitical uncertainty, factors that influenced how
traders positioned themselves across financial markets.
VT Markets said active
users increased 70% compared with the second half of 2025. It also reported
that 350,000 traders executed their first trade on the platform during the
period.
The broker said
trading activity was concentrated in gold and silver, as well as the EUR/USD
and USD/JPY currency pairs. The NAS100 and DJ30 indices were also among the
most actively traded instruments during the six-month period.
Broker Adds Products, Expands UAE
Presence
VT Markets attributed
part of the growth to product expansion and partner initiatives. During the
first half, the broker added 39 US stocks to its trading offering and launched
ClubÉlite, a loyalty programme for introducing broker partners.
The company said it
plans to introduce additional products and platform features during the second
half of 2026, including tools designed to extend trading access beyond
traditional market hours.
The latest results follow the broker’s
expansion. Last year, VT
Markets obtained a Category Five licence from the UAE’s Securities and
Commodities Authority, allowing it to provide financial consultation and
financial analysis services in the country as it expands its presence in the
Middle East.
