Capital.com embeds structured risk discipline into its platform’s architecture

Capital.com recorded a 150% year-over-year increase in crypto CFD trading volumes across its platform. The firm also reported that its platform offers more than 450 crypto CFDs. 

Capital.com reported that the Middle East accounted for approximately 50% of the firm’s total trading volume last year. The firm also revealed that Europe was the second-largest region in terms of trading volume, with a 73% YoY surge.

According to the report, roughly 22.6% of global positions on the platform were opened with a stop-loss attached. The trading firm also acknowledged that its platform coverage expanded last year to more than 5,000 markets. 

“2025 was marked by sustained macroeconomic uncertainty and cross-asset repricing. Access to markets should be accompanied by tools that promote disciplined engagement, clear risk definition, and ongoing review. As activity increased, we continued embedding structured risk discipline directly into the platform’s architecture.”

–Rupert Osborne, CEO of Capital.com UK.

Osborne argued that the firm’s trading activity in 2025 coincided with monetary policy divergence across major economies, commodity price volatility, and heightened sensitivity to macroeconomic data releases. Capital.com also found that Millennials and Gen X accounted for the largest share of trading volumes, followed by Zoomers and Boomers.

The firm noted that gold was the most actively traded instrument on the platform by both volume and trade count last year. Osborne believes that gold trading in 2025 was characterized by heightened sensitivity to short-term price moves, with 73.8% of trades being closed within 1 hour, and 95.9% within 24 hours.

Osborne maintained that increasing the use of predefined risk parameters remains the firm’s structural objective. He also stated that the company’s priority is to embed risk configuration into the decision-making process before execution.
