ITS trading volume surges to record $2.1 billion in March
The international trading platform ITS recorded an all-time high monthly trading volume of $2.1 billion in March 2026, up nearly 38% from February.
The previous monthly record of $1.82 billion was set in October 2025.
The increase was driven by global market conditions, an expanded range of available instruments and a growing number of investors on the platform following the addition of new brokers.
"March's record reflects the work of the entire ITS team – growing our broker network and bringing more investors onto the platform. Investors see ITS as a reliable gateway to international markets, and the numbers speak for themselves," said ITS CEO Kurmet Orazayev.
"We plan to maintain this momentum – we will keep expanding our instrument offering and developing the platform," he added.
ITS investors executed more than 365,000 trades in March, compared to 298,000 the previous month.
The most actively traded instruments in March were equities and ETFs with primary listings on U.S. exchanges: Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL), Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (SOXS), ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas (BOIL), Freedom Holding Corp. (FRHC), Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS), Micron Technology, Inc. (MU), Strategy Inc. (MSTR) and NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA).
In March, ITS also appointed Kurmet Orazayev as Chief Executive Officer, onboarded a new broker from Armenia, expanded its range of traded instruments and rebalanced the ITS Shariah Islamic index.
