Leading Retail FX and CFDs broker EC Markets has announced that the company recorded quarterly trading volume of $5.13 trillion in Q1 2026. The figure marks a 14.6% increase from the previous quarter, making it EC Markets’ strongest performance yet as a global multi-asset broker.

EC Markets Q1 2026 highlights include:

• $5.13 trillion total trading volume
• $1.709 trillion monthly average volume
• $81.4 billion daily trading volume
• 272K active traders across global markets

A Record-Breaking Quarter

EC Markets stated that its growth in Q1 2026 was driven by three key factors: higher trading volumes, more active clients, and continued expansion beyond FX into other asset classes.

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025:

• Daily trading volume: +18.3%
• Monthly trading volume: +14.5%
• Quarterly trading volume: +14.6%
• Active account number: +18.3%

The company added that this quarter-on-quarter growth reflects the rising demand for EC Markets’ institutional-grade pricing, multi-asset access, and technology-driven trading environment.

Active accounts grew to 272,000 (up from 230,000 in Q4 2025) with an average volume of $6.28 million per account. That 18.3% increase reflects growing confidence in EC Markets’ world-class platform and trading infrastructure.

Growth Across Every Market

EC Markets said that it saw trading growth across the board in Q1 2026. 2% of trading volume came from FX, while the remaining 98% was spread across other asset classes, including commodities, indices, and digital assets. This split reflects just how far the company’s multi-asset offering has come, as it continues to provide traders with institutional-grade liquidity, fast execution, and a tightly regulated framework.

Strength Through Partnership

EC Markets’ global partnership with Liverpool FC has continued to raise the company’s profile across key international markets, supporting brand awareness and driving client acquisition where it matters most.

EC Markets said it will continue expanding across Asia, LATAM, and the Middle East through strategic partnerships, technology investment, and a commitment to global regulation.
