“The first quarter of 2025 was successful for XTB in terms of expanding our client base and strengthening our global brand, aligning well with the key goals of our development strategy. I am particularly pleased with the increase in new clients and their active investment activities. This indicates that we can effectively reach new client demographics who are more engaged in their investments during periods of market volatility. The growing number of clients serves as the foundation for our development in the coming years, and we will continue to prioritize this area,” commented Omar Arnaout, XTB CEO.
Analyzing XTB’s Q1 2025 revenue by instrument classes, it is evident that CFDs based on indices garnered the largest share at 52.3%. This category particularly included the German DAX (DE40) stock index, as well as the American US 100 and US 500 indices.
In the first quarter of 2025, XTB clients were actively investing in shares and exchange-traded products (ETPs), including ETF funds.
In the EU markets, nearly 80% of the initial transactions conducted by new XTB clients involved shares and ETPs, along with investment plans based on these instruments.
During this quarter, clients in the EU executed a total of 11 million transactions in these categories. Additionally, net deposits climbed to EUR 986.3 million, a 123.6% increase from the previous year, as clients took advantage of interest on free funds.
At the close of the first quarter of 2025, XTB client assets totaled EUR 7.2 billion. Of this amount, approximately EUR 3.7 billion represented the nominal value of instruments held by clients in their accounts, including stocks and ETPs. Nearly EUR 1.0 billion consisted of client funds, while approximately EUR 2.5 billion was the nominal value of CFD instruments.
At the end of March 2025, a total of 1.54 million clients used the XTB investment platform and mobile application, compared to 1.01 million at the end of Q1 2024. In turn, between April 1 and 28, 2025, another 56.4 thousand new investors joined XTB’s client base. The number of active customers also increased significantly, reaching a record level of 735.4 thousand, which means an increase of 76.5% year-on-year.
In 2025, XTB is also preparing to introduce options and cryptocurrency trading to its portfolio.
XTB is preparing to launch operations in Indonesia (planned for the first half of the year) and Brazil, where the process of obtaining the necessary licenses is underway. In turn, in Chile, XTB has already obtained a securities agent license, which allows it to offer clients shares and ETF funds. In the promising Middle East region, XTB has opened a second office in Dubai in recent weeks.
