Capital.com, a leading global trading platform and fintech group, has announced a significant expansion of its cryptocurrency offerings alongside robust growth across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The platform has introduced over 1,200 new markets, bringing the total number of instruments available to traders to 5,000, including a substantially enhanced range of crypto CFDs, solidifying its position as one of the largest digital asset providers in the brokerage sector.
This strategic expansion coincides with Capital.com reporting global Q3 trading volumes of $744 billion, with the MENA region contributing an impressive 51% of the total. Cryptocurrency trading led the growth, rising 53.9% quarter-on-quarter globally and an exceptional 67% month-on-month in MENA, reflecting strong regional demand for digital assets. Equities also saw growth, up 5.2% globally, driven by sustained investor interest in AI and technology stocks, while FX and commodities experienced seasonal declines.
MENA Growth Highlights
Capital.com continues to strengthen its presence in the region through its Dubai-based office, regulated by the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). The company was recently recognized as one of the fastest-growing tech-enabled platforms in the Middle East for the third consecutive year by Deloitte Technology’s Fast 50 programme.
To meet rising client demand for diversified trading strategies, Capital.com now offers over 400 crypto CFD instruments, enabling traders to access a wide array of digital assets—from major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to an expanding selection of altcoins.
“Digital assets are transforming the trading landscape globally, and MENA is at the forefront of this shift,” said Vitalii Kedyk, Head of Digital Assets at Capital.com. “By expanding our crypto markets, we’re empowering traders in the region to engage with this evolving asset class through a platform that prioritizes education, transparency, and innovation.”
Tarik Chebib, CEO MENA at Capital.com, added:
“The UAE and the wider MENA region are witnessing strong growth in digital trading. Our Q3 figures highlight this momentum, particularly in crypto, which grew more than 67% quarter-on-quarter in MENA alone. This expansion underscores our commitment to providing traders in the region with access to world-class products and technology, supported by local expertise and regulatory trust.”
