Their parallel triumphs are no coincidence; they stem from systematic effort, relentless perseverance and—above all—strategic foresight and deep expertise. In an era of rapid change and fierce global competition, the partnership between EC Markets and Judd Trump offers a shared narrative of excellence and a vision of top-tier performance.
EC Markets consolidates its international position
According to the Finance Magnates Intelligence Report (fmintelligence) for the first quarter of 2025, EC Markets achieved a record trading volume of US$1.737 trillion, up 13.5 % on the previous period and an impressive 129 % year-on-year. This performance places the firm 4th worldwide in the retail FX/CFD sector, confirming its upward trajectory and its ability to compete with the market’s most established institutional players.

Through consistent data-driven strategies, optimal use of the MT4/MT5 platforms and a focus on high-growth regions (Asia, Africa and Latin America), EC Markets combines technical excellence with the trust of its clients.
Judd Trump: a model of discipline and finesse
Meanwhile, Judd Trump reached the 100-century mark for the 2025 season during his World Snooker Championship last-16 tie with Shaun Murphy, a feat that keeps him firmly at the top of the world rankings. He is not only a touchstone for modern snooker but also a paragon of strategic thinking and competitive composure.
His playing style—marked by mathematical precision, calmness and strategic ingenuity—mirrors the very values that underpin EC Markets: commitment, excellence, open communication and respect. As the firm’s ambassador, Trump projects these principles worldwide, humanising a brand that aspires to become one of the foremost powers in finance and business.
A showcase of top-tier synergy
The simultaneous success of EC Markets and its ambassador, Judd Trump, is more than a mere coincidence; it is the natural outcome of a partnership built on shared standards of performance, innovation, strategic planning, discipline and vision—virtues that drive continuous progress and development.
In a statement, EC Markets’ Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Matthew Smith, said:
“The fact that both EC Markets and Judd Trump achieved major milestones in the first four months of 2025 is not merely encouraging; it is truly revealing. It shows how diligence, technical precision and vision can flourish simultaneously, whether on a financial platform or at the snooker table. Together, we are redefining what it means to be a leader in our field.”
As EC Markets continues its international expansion and Trump cements his status as one of the greatest athletes of his generation, their partnership gains ever-greater weight and meaning. In an age of big data and complex markets, it is clear that excellence is no accident; it is the product of strategic choice and determination—it is purposeful.
