“I am extremely pleased to be joining a market-leading broker like Exness, not only because of its incredible trajectory of growth, but also because of its ethical approach to doing business. I look forward to discovering what we can achieve together and to being part of the brand’s further development and success,” he commented.

Exness March Figures
Early this month, Exness reported that it ended March with $2.48 trillion in total trading volume, which is a record in its operational history. The latest monthly figures came over a week after Finance Magnates had already published the broker’s feat to reach the $2 trillion trading volume milestone, which is a record in the retail trading industry.
The monthly trading volume of March went up by 57% when compared to the same figure of the previous month. Year-over-year, the surge in trading volume was 167%.
Although Exness has its headquarters in Cyprus, it has a strong presence in markets outside of the European Union. The company has obtained several regulatory licenses over the years and is expanding aggressively in Asia and other emerging markets. The most recent regulatory license in its arsenal is from the South African financial market supervisor.
