ITS sets new daily trading volume record of $107 million

The international trading platform ITS recorded a new daily trading volume record of $107 million on October 10, 2025, driven by a spike in market volatility and investors’ efforts to both profit from market movements and hedge risks, including through investments in ITS’s diversified exchange-traded funds.

On Friday, 21,339 transactions were executed on ITS across 1,125 securities, with total trading volume exceeding 10% of the platform’s total for September. The most actively traded instruments included:

• Cipher Mining (CIFR) – a U.S. company mining bitcoin through its own data centres powered by renewable energy.

Periods of market volatility typically lead to higher trading volumes on ITS, where investors can respond to global news during the platform’s 18-hour trading session. They can execute transactions at the best available global market prices and in any required volume, supported by best execution principles and smart order routing technology.

The spike in activity on October 10 followed media reports that U.S. President Donald Trump was preparing to impose an additional 100% tariff on imports from China.

ITS offers investors access to more than 3,000 international securities, including 304 ETFs, allowing them to generate returns in any market environment. The instruments traded on the platform are included in major global indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq-100, and S&P 500, covering most sectors of the world economy.

Trading volumes on ITS continue to show steady growth, driven by the expanding number of investors and available instruments.
