XTB eyes record client growth
XTB expects to surpass 100,000 new clients in October and reach over 250,000 in Q4, marking record growth. “As of October 26, we have around 96,000 new accounts. We’ll exceed 100,000 for the first time, and likely a quarter of a million this quarter,” said CEO Omar Arnaout. The company aims to acquire one million clients annually from next year.
In Q3 2025, XTB gained 221,762 new clients—up 105% year-on-year—while operating costs rose to PLN 322.7 million, driven by higher marketing (+PLN 69.9 million) and personnel (+PLN 26.1 million) expenses. Arnaout said only marketing costs may continue rising, by about 40–60%.
XTB plans to launch options trading in late 2025 or early 2026 and introduce cryptocurrencies in early 2026. The firm is reconsidering operations in Brazil amid protectionist barriers and aims to focus on strengthening its position as Europe’s leading investment company.
