Eleventh consecutive record quarter#
The Q3 result marks the eleventh consecutive announced quarter of record trading volume for CFI. Quarterly volume has nearly tripled since early 2025. For the first nine months of 2026, trading volume reached $8.8 trillion, double the level recorded during the same period in 2025. The nine-month total exceeds the full-year 2025 volume of $6.4 trillion by more than a third. The figures reflect aggregated trading activity across the group's licensed entities.
Client activity and transaction counts#
CFI executed 90 million trades in the third quarter, twice the number executed in Q3 2025. More than 250 million trades have been executed in the first nine months of 2026. The number of deposit transactions rose 60 per cent year on year in Q3 and increased 43 per cent over the first nine months of the year. The company also introduced Gold 24/7 (XAUUSD-24H) during the period, complementing its existing extended-hours trading products.
Appointments and recognition#
CFI appointed Federico Cirulli as chairman of the board and François du Plessis as country CEO of CFI South Africa. The company received the Leading Broker in the UAE award at Forex Expo Dubai 2026 and the Best Trade Execution of the Year 2026 award at PROFX Expo Africa 2026. Ziad Melhem, group CEO, stated that surpassing the full-year 2025 trading volume in nine months reflects the scale and momentum the business has achieved.
