CFI Financial Group has delivered record performance in the first half of 2026, with trading volumes reaching $5.34 trillion as client engagement surged across key asset classes. The multi-asset broker reported second quarter volumes of $3.03 trillion, representing a 31% quarter-on-quarter increase and a 101% jump year-over-year. Metals and equity indices drove the strongest activity, while active client numbers climbed 8.4% annually and total trade executions exceeded 42.47 million, up 74% from the prior year.
The company attributes its growth to sustained demand for mobile trading capabilities, which now account for the majority of platform activity. This reflects broader industry trends toward mobile-first user experiences as retail participation in leveraged products continues expanding globally.
CFI has simultaneously extended its geographic reach through strategic regulatory approvals. The firm secured authorisation in Brazil, building on its recent Colombian launch and strengthening its Latin American footprint. In Bahrain, it gained approval to offer regulated digital asset products, while the UAE operation now includes local equity trading. The group operates through 15 regulated entities with over 700 staff across 48 nationalities, supported by an expanding technology centre in Malaysia.
For brokers and fintech firms, CFI’s trajectory demonstrates how geographic diversification combined with mobile technology investment and multi-asset capabilities can drive substantial volume growth even in competitive markets.
