<\/p>\n

Online trading platform Plus500<\/a> said this morning that its board had lifted its expectations for the year, as trading remains ahead of what was previously predicted, thanks to a cryptocurrency boom at the start of the year.<\/p>\n

Plus500 had previously announced that a strong start to 2018 had come thanks to a period of "relative volatility" in the markets and high levels of trading in its cryptocurrency contracts for difference (CFDs) offering.<\/p>\n

That, the board said, encouraged high levels of new customer sign ups, and as a result, delivered record trading for the first quarter of the year.<\/p>\n

Shares rose more than six per cent on the news.<\/p>\n

Today, Plus500 said market conditions had returned to more normal levels in the second quarter, but trading had nevertheless been "materially ahead of management expectations".<\/p>\n

Asaf Elimelech, chief executive, said:<\/p>\n

\n

We are pleased with the continued strong financial performance made despite market conditions returning to more normal levels during this period.<\/p>\n

We remain confident about the future prospects for the company.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Plus500 said the full impact of new regulatory changes brought in by the European Securities and Markets Authority (Esma) are "difficult to assess".<\/p>\n

Esma is banning retail investors from trading binary options, and applying limitations to CFDs to protect investors. <\/p>\n

Plus500 said its performance could be impacted by the rate at which customers request to be reclassified, and are accepted, as elective professional clients. <\/p>\n

It intends to assess the impact of the measures on current and future performance once they are fully bedded in.<\/p>\n

Last month, the trading platform said it intended to step up to London's main market<\/a> after the crypto boom has helped fuel a share surge, with retail investors looking to tap into bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rising in popularity.<\/p>\n
