100,000 accounts in 180 days: Inside Versus Trade's record-breaking broker launch of 2025

Versus Trade entered the brokerage market in 2025 with an approach that differed sharply from conventional launches. Rather than competing solely on spreads or leverage, the broker focused on product differentiation, operational speed, and regulatory readiness from day one. Within its first 8 months of operation, the company reported $75 billion in trading volume and the opening of more than 100,000 client accounts across 45+ countries.

The figures position Versus Trade among the fastest-scaling new brokers of 2025, supported by a full MT5 infrastructure, proprietary trading instruments, and early regulatory approval.

Fast Metrics: 2025 Market Results

During its initial operating period, Versus Trade processed $75 billion in client trading volume while onboarding 100,000 accounts globally. According to the company, average KYC verification takes approximately two minutes, enabling traders to move from registration to live trading with minimal friction.

The internal team scaled to over 100 professionals distributed across more than 20 countries, supporting infrastructure, compliance, product development, and partner relations. Market visibility followed quickly, with extensive media coverage and user feedback pushing Trustpilot ratings to an “Excellent” status and customer support satisfaction rated 4.9 out of 5.

“Speed does matter in modern brokerage, but structure matters more,” said Vitalii Bulynin, Co-Founder of Versus Trade. “Our priority was to build systems that could handle scale from the first real market test.”

Versus Pairs: Innovation in Asset-vs-Asset Trading

This debut year, Versus Trade introduced a market innovation that became central to its identity — 12 proprietary Versus Pairs — CFD instruments designed to express relative performance between two assets within a single trade.

Examples include Bitcoin vs Gold, Amazon vs Alibaba, and Tesla vs Ford. Each pair reflects a broader real-time market movement rather than isolated price direction, allowing traders to position around macro themes such as inflation hedging, technological disruption, or regional economic competition.

“We designed Versus Pairs around comparative thinking,” Vitalii Bulynin noted. “Traders don’t operate in isolation as they constantly weigh strength against weakness, and these instruments turn that mindset into strategic trades.”

The Versus Pairs are available alongside more than 200 traditional instruments covering forex, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies. All products are executed transparently through MT5, with pricing reflecting relative movement between paired assets in real time.

Trading Environment and Platform Stack

In 2025, Versus Trade rolled out its full trading infrastructure on MetaTrader 5, available on desktop, web, and mobile from day one. The broker introduced five account types — Demo, Standard, Cent, Pro, and Raw — designed to match different experience levels and trading styles. Raw accounts feature spreads starting from 0.0 pips, while Islamic accounts provide Shariah-compliant structures. Swap-free level is also available for non-Muslim clients who prefer overnight charge elimination.

This year, Versus Trade also launched copy trading through a partnership with Brokeree. The system allows users to evaluate strategy providers using transparent risk metrics, performance history, and real-time statistics, enabling both automated and diversified trading approaches.

To support seamless capital management, the company introduced 24/7 funding operations with 0 deposit and withdrawal fees. The system supports bank wires, crypto, local e-wallets, and cards — removing the delays, costs, and friction that typically slow down retail traders’ activity.

Versus Trade also released mobile apps for iOS and Android, giving users quick access to their personal accounts. While trading is not yet supported, the apps allow clients to manage profiles, check balances, and handle deposits and withdrawals directly from their phones.

The educational layer also went live in 2025 through a partnership with Versus Academy, a dedicated team delivering structured trading education, from fundamentals for beginners to structured thematic guides.

Additionally, Versus Trade integrated TradingView-powered economic calendars and news feeds directly into the platform environment, giving traders real-time information without switching tools or relying on external subscriptions.

Partner Programs: IB and Master IB

In 2025, Versus Trade rolled out its full partnership ecosystem with two programs designed for different levels of scale. The standard IB program offers commissions of up to 75% of spreads, daily payouts, marketing support, and real-time performance tracking through a dedicated Partner Area.

The Master IB program introduced a multi-tier structure reaching up to 10 tiers, allowing partners to build networks, manage commission distribution, and monitor the entire hierarchy in real time — enabling scalable, long-term revenue growth.

Regulation and Industry Recognition

A key milestone in Versus Trade’s first year was securing its FSC license in September 2025 — an achievement typically associated with more established brokers. The license formalized the company’s compliance framework and enabled further international expansion.

Industry recognition followed with three awards during the launch year: Best Forex Spreads Asia (Ultimate Fintech), Most Innovative CFD Broker (International Business Magazine), and Best IB Program Asia (World Business Outlook).

Market visibility expanded rapidly through reviews, press coverage, and industry commentary, actively supporting the broker’s early momentum.

Looking Ahead

Heading into 2026, Versus Trade plans to introduce additional trading terminals, expand its Versus Pairs lineup, and further strengthen infrastructure across key regions.

Live Bold. Trade the Hype. Race to the Top — the company’s slogan signals where Versus Trade is heading next: faster platforms, broader narrative-based instruments, and a trading environment built for the markets of tomorrow.

With regulatory foundations in place, a growing client base, and differentiated products live in the market, Versus Trade enters 2026 focused on ultimate expansion.
