- MENA is experiencing robust digital asset growth.
UAE-regulated Capital.com, a global trading platform, reported that of its Q3 trading volumes of $755 million, crypto contributed to 51% of that total, and as such, the company has expanded its crypto offering to MENA.
According to Capital.com, crypto trading led the surge in its Q3 report, climbing 53.9% quarter-on-quarter worldwide and an exceptional 67% month-on-month in MENA, reflecting the region’s growing appetite for digital assets.
As per the press release, the company has added over 1,200 new markets, bringing the total number of instruments it offers traders to 5,000, including a significantly expanded range of crypto CFDs. Equities also advanced by 5.2% globally, driven by sustained investor interest in AI and technology stocks, while FX and commodities experienced seasonal declines.
Capital.com doubles down on crypto
Capital.com now offers over 400 crypto CFD instruments, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and other altcoins.
“Digital assets are transforming the trading landscape globally, and MENA is at the forefront of this shift,” said Vitalii Kedyk, Head of Digital Assets, Capital.com.
Tarik Chebib, CEO MENA at Capital.com, added that the UAE and MENA region are experiencing robust growth in digital trading. He added, “Our Q3 numbers reflect strong momentum, particularly in crypto, which grew by more than 67% quarter-on-quarter in MENA alone.”
The interest in crypto has been growing in the MENA region, with sovereign wealth funds investing in Bitcoin ETFs. Both the Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), owned by Mubadala, a sovereign wealth fund, and Mubadala itself have invested in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. Both entities have purchased more than 16 million shares, according to regulatory filings.
Additionally, in a recent Avaloq report, the Avaloq wealth insights 2025 report, built on two surveys carried out earlier in 2025, in February and March, with over 3,851 investors from 15 markets, including the UAE, found that 39% of UAE investors hold crypto, surpassing the global average of 30%.
