Capital.com, a leading trading platform regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), has rolled out a significant new benefit for its retail clients in the European Union. As of June 1, 2025, all EU-based clients, as well as those in Norway and Liechtenstein, are automatically covered by a new private insurance policy. This coverage, provided by Lloyd’s of London, protects client funds up to $1 million in the unlikely event that Capital.com becomes insolvent.
How the New Insurance Works
This new insurance policy is designed to supplement the existing Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) protection offered by CySEC, which covers eligible retail clients up to €20,000. The additional insurance steps in to protect any funds exceeding the €20,000 ICF limit, up to a maximum of $1 million per client, at no extra cost.
Christoforos Soutzis, CEO of Capital.com Europe, highlighted the company’s commitment to client security. He emphasized that this initiative aims to give European clients “added security and peace of mind,” noting the importance of Europe as one of Capital.com’s fastest-growing and most engaged markets.
Europe’s Role in Capital.com’s Growth
Since its launch in 2016, Capital.com has experienced impressive growth. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, client trading volumes reached $656 billion, marking an 11% increase from the previous quarter. European clients accounted for about 45% of this activity, reflecting the region’s critical role in the company’s expansion.
In addition, Capital.com welcomed over 800,000 new user accounts during the same period, demonstrating strong momentum and user engagement across its platform.
Ongoing Commitment to Security
Capital.com’s commitment to client protection extends beyond insurance. The company ensures that client funds are held in segregated accounts, separate from its own operational finances. This practice, along with strict regulatory compliance and advanced security measures, helps safeguard client assets at all times.
Leadership and Ownership
Capital.com is owned by Viktor Prokopenya through VP Capital. The company recently adopted a regional leadership model, appointing four regional CEOs to better serve its global client base and drive growth in key markets.
Summary
With the introduction of this enhanced insurance policy, Capital.com is reinforcing its dedication to client fund protection and trust. This move not only offers greater peace of mind for traders but also underscores the company’s commitment to growth and client satisfaction in an increasingly competitive industry.
