Hong KongMay 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — According to the Intelligence Report for the first quarter of 2026 released by Finance Magnates, ATFX achieved a total trading volume of $1.09 trillion in Q1 2026, setting a new company record. This also marks the first time ATFX has surpassed the trillion-dollar trading scale in a single quarter.
This result represents a year-over-year increase of 40.62% and a quarter-over-quarter increase of 33.58%. Meanwhile, account activity rose by 7.12%, reflecting sustained growth in overall client engagement on the platform. Against the backdrop of heightened global market volatility, multi-asset class trading activities expanded simultaneously, aligning with ATFX’s 2026 theme of “Continuous Breakthroughs, Leading New Heights.”
Joe Li, Chairman of ATFX Group, stated: “Surpassing the $1 trillion milestone demonstrates the effectiveness of our global strategy, the power of teamwork, and the continued participation of our clients on the platform. Moving forward, we will remain focused on building a robust trading infrastructure, ensuring reliable execution, and providing a seamless trading experience for our global clients in an ever-changing market environment.”
Comprehensive Growth Across Multi-Asset Classes
During the quarter, trading activity across all major asset classes increased, with both retail and institutional client participation rising. The following performance is based on quarter-over-quarter data:
- Forex trading volume grew by 70.27%, driven by divergent interest rate expectations among major economies
- Index trading increased by 43.88%, reflecting shifts in stock market sentiment
- Stock trading rose by 15.36%, indicating selective participation in global markets
- Precious metals gained 12.91%, maintaining steady demand
Global Trading Participation Continues to Expand
The strong performance this quarter reflects the ongoing expansion of trading participation across diverse market conditions. Growth was driven by ATFX’s continuously optimized trading infrastructure and global market access capabilities, while global strategic initiatives, including the partnership with the Argentine Football Association (AFA), further enhanced the brand’s international influence.
The growth in Q1 2026 was not driven by a single asset class but by the collective contribution of diversified market participation, reflecting a more balanced and varied trading ecosystem.
Looking Ahead
Looking to the future, ATFX will continue to focus on strengthening its global trading infrastructure, expanding market access, and supporting clients in an evolving market environment. With a strong start to the year, the company is well-positioned to maintain steady growth momentum throughout 2026.
