ATFX Records $643 Billion in Q4 2024 Trading Volume

Multi-asset retail and institutional broker ATFX has reported a total trading volume of $643 billion through its MT4/MT5 platforms during the fourth quarter of 2024, positioning the broker among the top seven globally by trading volume.

The fintech broker witnessed significant growth across several asset classes compared to the same period in 2023. Precious metals trading increased by 32.73%, whilst indices trading rose substantially by 62.09%, reflecting heightened market volatility during the quarter.

Stock trading demonstrated particularly strong performance with a 27.08% year-on-year increase from Q4 2023 and a remarkable 382.24% surge compared to the previous quarter (Q3 2024). Cryptocurrency trading showed more modest but continued growth at 8.47% compared to Q4 2023.

Market analysts note that precious metals growth typically indicates increased investor preference for safe-haven assets during periods of economic uncertainty, while the dramatic rise in stock trading volume suggests renewed investor confidence in specific equity markets.

ATFX's performance comes amid a backdrop of shifting economic policies and geopolitical tensions that have contributed to market fluctuations throughout 2024. The broker attributes its ability to navigate these conditions to its technological infrastructure and liquidity solutions.

The company continues to expand its offerings with investments in advanced analytics and AI-driven tools. ATFX currently maintains operations in 23 locations globally and holds regulatory licenses from several financial authorities including the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).

The broker's services span multiple asset classes through Contracts for Difference (CFDs), including forex, commodities, indices, stocks and cryptocurrencies.
