The record quarter marks a new growth phase for the global multi-asset broker.
DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- STARTRADER has revealed its highest quarterly trading volume to date. The global multi-asset broker achieved $3.145 trillion in total trading volume during Q1, marking a 340% increase from the same period last year and a 56.7% jump from Q4 2025. Notably, client trading account openings increased by 280% year-on-year.
The results speak to the trust STARTRADER has earned through years of consistent execution. Now, its rebranding gives that trust a sharper identity, capturing its growing global ambitions. 'Built on Trust. Driven by Growth.'
On this milestone, the CEO of STARTRADER, Mr. Peter Karsten, commented:
"These numbers reflect what happens when a strong infrastructure is guided by a clear direction. Crossing $3 trillion in a single quarter is a milestone, but what matters most to us is that the growth is broad-based, consistent, and built to last."
The first-quarter performance reflects the company's sustained expansion, with monthly trading volume averaging $1 trillion throughout the quarter. This shows that clients' activity remained consistent throughout the quarter, which reflects their deep confidence in its platforms and offers.
Key Q1 2026 metrics:
- Total Q1 2026 trading volume: $3.145 trillion
- Quarter-on-quarter growth: +56.7%
- Year-on-year growth: +340%
- Client trading accounts: +280% year-on-year
- Average monthly trading volume: $1 trillion
Earlier in the year, STARTRADER introduced a refined brand identity that reflects the pillars on which the brand functions. As a broker regulated by CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA, and FSC, STARTRADER operates across five jurisdictions with a firm commitment to transparency and reliability. Advanced trading tools, competitive conditions, and a seamless multi-platform experience complete the picture of a broker built for the long term.
This rebranding unifies what STARTRADER has always stood for, making it more cohesive, more ambitious, and better aligned with where the company is headed.
The Q1 results offer early validation that this repositioning is resonating with both existing clients, deepening their activity, and with new traders choosing STARTRADER for the first time.
STARTRADER's brand positioning extends beyond its trading platform. As an Official Partner of the NBA and the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East, the company aligns itself with institutions defined by precision, performance, and global reach. These partnerships reflect the standard STARTRADER holds itself to, and signal its ambitions to a global audience.

STARTRADER Posts $3.145 Trillion in Q1 2026 Trading Volume, Up 340% Year-on-Year
NINGDE, China, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 27, CATL and HyperStrong signed a strategic cooperation agreement on sodium-ion batteries for energy storage in Ningde, Fujian. The two parties announced a three-year partnership covering 60GWh of sodium-ion battery supply, marking a significant milestone for the industrialization of sodium-ion batteries technology.
As CATL's first strategic partner for sodium-ion energy storage, HyperStrong will work closely with CATL in areas including technology R&D, product applications, and project deployment.
This partnership marks CATL's successful breakthrough across the entire value chain for mass production of sodium-ion batteries, giving the company the capacity for large-scale delivery. It also represents the largest sodium-ion battery supply agreement in the world to date, ushering in a new phase of large-scale expansion for the global sodium-ion battery industry.
Through morphology control and surface modification, CATL has significantly enhanced the energy density of sodium-ion batteries. On the manufacturing side, the Company has systematically addressed key process challenges in mass production—such as foaming in hard carbon production lines and moisture control—by leveraging core technologies including angstrom-level pore size regulation, surface molecular water-locking, and adaptive dynamic formation, thereby ensuring consistency across large-volume production.
Sodium-ion batteries offer excellent adaptability across a wide temperature range, deliver outstanding high-temperature cycle life, generate less heat during operation, and experience lower cell expansion stress, resulting in superior safety and stability. In long-duration energy storage applications, system integration can be effectively simplified, reducing auxiliary energy losses and comprehensively improving overall plant efficiency and economic performance.
In addition, CATL's sodium-ion energy storage batteries feature a platform-based design with the same form factor as lithium-ion batteries, ensuring high compatibility with the existing industrial chain. This effectively reduce adaptation costs and significantly shortens the timeline from product readiness to power station deployment.
The 60GWh sodium-ion battery cooperation marks a major milestone for both parties. As sodium-ion technology enters a phase of large-scale development, the two sides will continue to deepen collaboration, promote high-quality growth of the energy storage industry, and provide more resilient and diversified technological support for the global energy transition.
