After topping the $1 trillion client trading volumes mark in each of the last three months of 2021, Retail FX and CFDs broker Exness started off 2022 with a bang, posting $1.51 trillion in volumes for January 2022.

The $1.5T mark is – by a wide margin – the most trading volume ever posted by a Retail FX broker, besting Exness’ own previous record of $1.269 trillion set in November 2021 by 19%. For another comparison point, in 2021 overall, Exness averaged $922 billion in monthly client trading volumes, which was up by 63% over 2020’s $565 billion.

The number of active clients at Exness during January 2022 was also a record figure, 257,135, topping November’s 246,561.

We understand that over the past year a lot of Exness’ growth has come from the “multi-asset” portion of its offering, with a new generation of clients looking to trade CFDs on everything from crypto equities and commodities, and not just FX pairs.
