Hantec Markets opens 2026 with record Q1 trading volume of $1.206T
Hantec Markets kicked off 2026 with its best first quarter to date, posting $1.206 trillion in trading volume for Q1. That follows a strong 2025, when the company reported about $2.72 trillion in total yearly volume, up roughly 92% from the year before. So far, that pace has carried straight into the new year.
Q1 2026 highlights
- Q1 trading volume reached a record $1.206 trillion, up about 176% year over year
- The total beat the previous quarterly high of $1.013 trillion in Q4 2025 by around 19%
- Hantec launched a new UFC partnership across APAC as the sport's official trading partner
- About 83% of trading volume came from non-FX products, including Gold, Oil, and other markets
The company recorded a sharp jump from the $437.7 billion reported in Q1 2025. It also moved ahead of its previous quarterly record from Q4 2025.
Monthly results show a strong start across the quarter. January led the way with $569.2 billion in trading volume. February brought in $252.8 billion, while March added $384.4 billion. Together, those figures point to solid activity throughout the quarter, with January giving the year an especially strong opening.
New products and sports partnerships supported growth
A major update for the quarter was Hantec's new deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Under the agreement, Hantec Markets is the official trading partner of UFC in APAC.
As part of the partnership, the brand will appear at live events, in broadcasts, and across social media tied to UFC events in the region. The first major event under the deal is UFC 325 in Sydney.
This adds to Hantec Markets' sports partnership lineup. The company is also in its second straight year as the official online trading partner of Club Atletico de Madrid across LATAM.
"Q1 2026 has set a solid foundation for the year ahead. Alongside continued product enhancements, a stronger desktop experience, we are seeing encouraging momentum across our core trading platforms and markets."
That comment came from Norayr Djerrahian, Chief Commercial Officer at Hantec Markets. The company said this trend matches the continued rollout of Hantec WebTrader, along with its established user base on MT4 and MT5.
"Our partnership with UFC, paired with continuous expansion across markets and a new product roadmap for the future, Q1 2026 has set a powerful tone for the year ahead," Norayr said while reviewing the company's 2026 trading volume figures.
Hantec Markets is also moving ahead with wider product and market expansion plans. The company said recent growth in Hantec Social, its copy trading app, and Hantec WebTrader has helped drive stronger client engagement. It also recently opened a new office in Latin America.
