Review of 2024 and Outlook for 2025, by GTC's Chief Operating Officer, Elian Daoud

GTC Achievements in 2024

What achievements did GTC accomplish in 2024？ Last year, I stood on this stage and shared our accomplishments with you. This year, we have made significant strides in global expansion, business development, technological advancements, and customer support.

Global Expansion

This year, GTC focused on business development, technological upgrades, and strengthening customer support. We established new offices in Latin America, Thailand, and the United States. This expansion also required us to obtain new regulatory qualifications. I am proud to announce that we obtained our second ESCA license in Dubai and successfully acquired a CFD brokerage company with an FSCA license in South Africa. Consequently, we now hold a financial license in South Africa.

Growth in Workforce

With large-scale expansion, our workforce has nearly doubled, growing from approximately 160 employees last year to 311 employees now. This increase allows us to invest more resources in business development and technological research.

Increase in Trading Volume

Our average monthly trading volume has tripled, growing from about $50 billion last year to $153 billion this year. This rapid growth is thanks to your support. The increase in trading volume has also led to more commission rewards. Last year, we distributed $7 million in commissions, and this year, GTC proudly distributed $31 million in commission rewards, a significant figure. Most importantly, there are more exciting developments ahead.

Goals for 2025

What are our goals for 2025？ What are the core objectives for 2025？ Starting in January 2025, you will gradually witness our new developments. We are about to launch some new products.

Currently, we mainly trade CFD products, but we will soon connect directly to stock exchanges, allowing customers to trade stocks and futures directly on real exchanges. This is our first new product—Direct Market Access (DMA).

Technological Investments

The second major development is GTC's internal investment in technology. When I mention technology, I mean comprehensive technological development. We have successfully invested in and partnered with a new technology company, Max Tech, located in the heart of the United States. This company focuses on building an integrated trading platform that supports quantitative trading, CPA (Cost Performance Analysis), bonus management, and more. Max Tech aims to provide a one-stop solution for companies looking to quickly and conveniently establish brokerage businesses.
