Global fintech sees trading volumes rise by 20% in Q3, plans to fill 200 new tech roles in the next 12 months

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Capital.com, the high-growth global trading platform and fintech group whose trading volumes surpassed USD$1trn in 2023, today announced total client trading volumes reached over $450 billion in Q3 2024, a 20% increase from Q2 2024, affirming the company’s steady growth trajectory. Over the same period, new user accounts were up by 9%, and the total number of trades executed on the platform grew by 19% to 31 million from the previous quarter.

“Our Q3 results highlight the sustained growth of our platform as we continue to deliver the best trading experience for our clients globally. Supported by our strong track record and growth metrics, we have ambitions to further diversify our product offering and develop pioneering technologies that enhance efficiency across our award-winning platform,” said Dana Massey, Chief Marketing, Product & Technology Officer, Capital.com

Increased trading in Q3 was driven by strong interest in indices, commodities, and FX markets. Index trading was particularly robust, accounting for approximately 53% of all trading volumes, supported by significant activity from clients across the Middle East, followed closely by Europe. Commenting on clients’ trading behaviour in Q3, Daniela Sabin Hathorn, Senior Market Analyst, Capital.com, said:

“With anticipation for the US presidential elections building in Q3 we’ve seen increased interest in indices and FX pairs, specifically those that included the dollar. The capital injection on behalf of China to revive its struggling economy was also a key driver of the momentum in equities throughout the month of September as traders pushed aside concerns about growth in China. Other key events include the market meltdown and then, following the subsequent recovery in stocks, the worse-than-anticipated jobs data during the summer months, which triggered the Sahm rule and brought on concerns about the Federal Reserve being too restrictive for too long. As economic data has improved, so has sentiment in equity markets, with the key global indices starting Q4 close to record highs.”

Building on the platform’s strong client engagement and trading activity in the last quarter, Capital.com is ramping up its investment in technology, with plans to double its technology & engineering in the next 12 months. To support its clients with a diverse range of products and solutions, the company is hiring 200 new professionals across its global network of offices.

“As a tech-first company, expanding our engineering team is crucial to scaling our services and meeting the demands of our growing global client base,” added Massey. “We’re looking to bring on top talent from around the world across engineering, technology support, and development to ensure Capital.com remains at the forefront of fintech innovation.”

Capital.com’s hiring drive is focused on key areas including Java and Angular Software Engineering, DevOps, QA Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Incident Management, Tech Support, IT Services, Data Engineering, Database Administration, and Engineering Management. These roles offer both in-office and remote opportunities across London, Warsaw, Limassol and the company’s other key tech hubs globally, providing an agile and collaborative environment for innovation.

Zooming into the green transformation, the “Together We Act” platform for China’s dual-carbon talent plan was released

“Empowering Green Value Chains, Contributing to New Productive Forces” Side Event was Successfully Held at COP29

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The side event titled “Empowering Green Value Chains, Contributing to New Productive Forces” was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, during COP29. The event was jointly organized by the Vanke Foundation, C Team, and Phoenix TV. The aim of the event was to explore how industries in China can empower human capital and implement green value chains to achieve green, efficient, and low-carbon operational models under the country’s dual-carbon strategy. The goal was also to inspire new productive forces and drive the green transformation of economic and social development.

The side event brought together experts, scholars, business representatives, and NGO partners from both China and abroad to discuss the latest global trends and developments in green value chains across key industries. The event was chaired by Yang Peidan, Director of C Team. In her opening remarks, Liu Xi, Senior Manager of Climate Change and Biodiversity at the Vanke Foundation, highlighted the foundation’s vision of a “beautiful and shared future home” and its commitment to promoting environmental protection and social public welfare. She also introduced the “Net Zero Drive” Talents Acceleration Initiative, unveiling the “Together We Act” platform, a significant new step in the foundation’s efforts to align with its strategies.

Liu Yifeng, Deputy Director of C Team, provided an in-depth introduction to the “Together We Act” platform. This platform aims to cultivate and empower talents in the field of China’s dual-carbon strategy, equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to better adapt to and lead the green low-carbon transformation.

C Team is implementing a strategic upgrade to support the development of emerging industry talents while facilitating the transition of workers from traditional industries. This initiative aims to create a green employment market system. According to Liu, workers in traditional industries need to adapt to the “new wave” of industry transformation, while employees in emerging sectors must quickly update their knowledge and skills to keep pace with technological advancements. Through effective training and accelerated efforts, industries, businesses, and regions can better apply technologies and management practices, achieving both technological and energy transformations.

To this end, C Team has partnered with Tencent to develop the “Together We Act” platform. The platform breaks down knowledge into “knowledge cards,” which are categorized and tailored for workers in need of transformation or upskilling. The platform offers smart, content-driven training and quantitative assessments. By using algorithms, the platform provides personalized knowledge to users and includes management features that allow administrators to assign tasks and learning objectives. Knowledge and exercises are managed separately, creating a flexible and intelligent learning system.

Additionally, C Team plans to leverage the data on workforce technology upgrades and training behaviors collected by the platform to analyze the impact of dual-transformation policies and strategies on the workforce in both corporate supply chains and regional areas. This data will help companies and local governments better understand workforce trends and provide support for industry and regional transitions.

Media’s role is also essential in promoting new productive forces. Yang Yuntong, Director of International Cooperation and Project Operations at Phoenix TV, shared that as the largest well-rounded Chinese-language cultural media group overseas, Phoenix TV has long been committed to advancing new productive forces through practical actions. The group has been actively involved in climate-change communication in China and has hosted the annual “Zero-Carbon Mission International Climate Summit” for the past four years in the lead-up to COP, providing a platform for dialogue and discussion among stakeholders and influencing corporate practices and public advocacy.

Xu Shilun, head of the ESG projects at Onewo’s Sustainable Development Center, shared that reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in property management are key concerns for the company. Onewo is integrating its experience from managing various spaces, such as communities and office buildings, into its “Magic Stone” AI system, focusing on energy management to improve carbon management efficiency in public spaces and encourage owners and tenants to adopt greener lifestyles.

The roundtable discussion focused on two main themes: “Collaborative Innovation of Diverse Forces in Creating New Productive Forces” and “Empowering Green Value Chains to Drive the Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development”. Representatives from leading companies such as JA Solar, Anta Group, Lenovo, Carbonstop, PES, Exiss, ACT, Dasso, Hainan Deeprock, and SQUAKE participated in the discussion. The Secretary of the CPC Municipal Committee of Huzhou City, Chen Hao, also joined via video to introduce the innovative concept of “Bamboo Forest Carbon Sequestration.”

The organizers stated that the side event was not only a deep exploration of green development concepts but also a firm commitment to future sustainable development. C Team plans to further collaborate with nonprofit organizations, environmental foundations, leading enterprises, research institutions, and knowledge service platforms to jointly promote public and inclusive transformation, ensuring that high-quality training content is presented on the platform. Through collective effort and the pooling of knowledge and resources, the event sought to support industry development, regional transformation, and the green transformation of society.
