VT Markets, which offers trading services with contracts for differences (CFDs), handled $720 billion in trading volume in April 2025, marking its “strongest-ever” monthly figure. The Impact of Trump’s Tariffs The increase in trading demand followed an industry-wide trend, as trading platforms benefited from tariff-driven volatility. After US President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose import tariffs globally, markets dropped sharply amid fears of a global trade war. One industry that benefited was trading service providers. Recently, IG Group revealed that it “performed strongly in Q4 FY25 as elevated volatility across a range of asset classes, particularly in April, has resulted in higher levels of client trading activity than expected in typical market conditions.” NRDX was another broker that reported over 60 per cent of its active clients opened new positions , particularly shorting affected indices and commodities. According to NRDX’s Chief Revenue Officer, Nicolas Morphitis, the most traded instruments on the platform during the volatile period were US30 (Dow Jones), XAU/USD (Gold), and USD/CNH (US Dollar vs Chinese Yuan). GCEX, a provider of prime brokerage services, also disclosed that FX spot trading volumes on its platform surged by nearly 250 per cent following Trump’s announcements, stating it recorded “some of its strongest trading days.” Tom Higgins, CEO of Gold-i, said his platform “saw a tenfold increase in FX and equity index price rates and about five times as much trading activity.” Growth Across Regions Headquartered in Sydney, VT Markets operates globally with multiple licences, including authorisation from regulators in Australia, South Africa, and Mauritius. The broker’s latest announcement further highlighted that it is seeing strong growth across regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, with a 20 per cent rise in daily active users. The brand also expanded its institutional relationships in 2024, forming partnerships with Formula E team Maserati MSG Racing and English Premier League club Newcastle United. VT Markets also implemented a client fund insurance programme, offering coverage of up to $1 million per client.
