The domain name Capital.com has been a substantial investment. So far in 2017, the most expensive domain deal was fly.com, which was sold for $2.9 million. The new broker's homepage would be included in the top five of the biggest deals of this year and top 50 of the past 15 years. According to NameBio, the latest registered domain deal for Capital.com was executed in 1999 for $750,000.

The application differs from the competition with its focus on education. In conjunction with the Capital.com trading app, the company is rolling out a sister app called Investmate. The latter is supplying traders with information related to trading including interactive courses, quizzes, articles and videos.

Artificial Intelligence to Compliment Traders

Focusing on an innovative approach, the company also is adding artificial intelligence technology to the Capital.com trading app, called 'Smart Feed'. The solution is aiming to deliver customized news feeds and analysis based on every individual trader’s interests.

On top of that, the AI software will be analyzing every trader’s activity in real-time, to identify common trading biases and behavioral patterns. The software will then refer the user to targeted educational content via Investmate, when such biases are detected.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Prokopenya said: “The fintech industry is evolving at a rapid and exciting pace, and there is significant opportunity for start-ups to Leverage Leverage In financial trading, leverage is a loan supplied by a broker, which facilitates a trader in being able to control a relatively large amount of money with a significantly lesser initial investment.
