easyMarkets saw a sharp rise in cryptocurrency trading in
the fourth quarter of 2024, with Bitcoin surpassing $100,000. This price surge
drove strong interest from traders, making crypto the dominant asset class on
the platform.
Trading volumes for cryptocurrencies tripled compared to the
third quarter, reflecting increased market activity and investor confidence.
Bitcoin, Nasdaq100 Drive easyMarkets Q4 Growth
“This quarter demonstrated the agility of our clients,”
said Nikos Antoniades, Chief Executive Officer at easyMarkets.
Several factors contributed to this growth. Institutional
investors played a major role, with companies like MicroStrategy announcing
plans to raise $42 billion for crypto purchases.
The re-election of a pro-crypto US president further fuelled
optimism, as traders anticipated a more favourable regulatory environment.
Additionally, Bitcoin ’s price momentum and growing adoption encouraged higher
participation.
Gold Shines amid Volatility
While crypto took centre stage, traditional assets like gold
and the Nasdaq100 remained key trading options. Gold retained its status as a
safe-haven asset amid economic uncertainty and natural disasters.
The Nasdaq100 attracted traders with strong performance in
the tech sector. These assets provided stability in an otherwise fast-moving
and volatile quarter.
“From crypto’s rapid growth to gold and Nasdaq100’s
reliable performance, our traders skilfully navigated these market shifts. At
easyMarkets, we remain focused on providing the tools and insights that help
them succeed in a constantly changing environment,” Antoniades added.
easyMarkets Partners with Real Madrid Again
Meanwhile, easyMarkets
has renewed its partnership with Real Madrid C.F, continuing its role as
the club’s Official Trading Partner, as reported by Finance Magnates. The
collaboration, which began in 2020, was confirmed at a recent event with
easyMarkets CEO Antoniades and Real Madrid’s Director of Institutional
Relations, Emilio Butragueño.
The partnership seeks to leverage Real Madrid’s global
following to support easyMarkets’ efforts in expanding access to trading. This
renewal coincides with easyMarkets obtaining an FSCA license in South Africa,
complementing its existing regulatory approvals from CySEC, ASIC, FSA, and FSC.
