Capital.com strengthens global expansion and considers launching a fintech structure in Cyprus

The international trading platform Capital.com has announced plans to expand its presence in key markets, including Bahrain, Azerbaijan, and Germany. The decision follows an 11.2% growth in trading volume in the first quarter of 2026, confirming the company's steady development dynamics.
Simultaneously, the company is considering the possibility of establishing an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) in Cyprus. According to published information, a search is underway for a CEO for the new division, which will operate under the supervision of the Central Bank of Cyprus. This move is seen as part of a long-term strategy to broaden the range of financial services.
The company confirms that they are exploring the prospects of developing the EMI direction, though a final decision on obtaining a license has not yet been announced. Meanwhile, Capital.com already has experience in a regulated environment: the company previously obtained a license from CySEC, which allowed it to strengthen its position in the European market.
Founded in 2016, the company actively implements technological solutions and was one of the first brokers in Europe to offer a full-featured mobile trading platform.
Experts note that the potential establishment of an EMI in Cyprus could strengthen the country's position as a regional fintech hub and attract additional investment to the sector.
