Against that backdrop, Indonesia has emerged as one of the company's key growth markets, where XTB has now launched contracts for difference (CFD) trading after securing regulatory approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI).

The launch expands the range of products available to Indonesian clients, who can now trade CFDs on gold, silver, palladium, oil and natural gas, alongside the more than 650 United States stocks and ETFs already accessible through the XTB app, now serving close to 3 million clients globally.

Indonesia is now one of the platform’s most promising growth markets.

XTB chief executive Omar Arnaout has noted that the progress the company has achieved in recent months confirms Indonesia’s strong potential and XTB’s long-term commitment to scaling its business in the country.

“Securing the CFD license and launching the new product is an important step in strengthening our position across Southeast Asia,” said Arnaout.

Indonesia's momentum is driven by a young, digitally connected population that is showing rising interest in global markets. According to internal data from XTB Indonesia, the number of funded accounts grew 741.51 percent in H1 2026 compared with H2 2025. Meanwhile, the company's cumulative net deposit position rose 600 percent in June 2026 compared with December 2025.

The Indonesian market also reflects a broader pattern across Southeast Asia, where retail investors are increasingly seeking regulated platforms that provide direct access to international markets rather than relying solely on domestic instruments.

Jen Rattanajirarodh, managing director of XTB Asia, said the results highlighted how more Indonesians were looking for trusted and intuitive investment platform that gave them access to opportunities beyond the local market.

“Indonesia has tremendous potential, and our priority is to build long-term trust with investors while continuously expanding the products and services we offer,” she said.

“With our CFD license secured and the product will be live soon, we made another step in supporting our clients as their investment needs continue to evolve.”

XTB remains focused on democratizing investing through technology, education and a broader range of solutions delivered via the platform’s all-in-one investing app.

By combining market access with educational resources and intuitive tools, XTB aims to support clients in making more informed decisions, whether they are building long-term portfolios or trading shorter-term instruments.
