Dear Clients, Partners, and Friends,
When we entered the summer months of 2026, there had been an expectation that the markets would settle into their typical seasonal rhythm and slow down. Instead, geopolitical tensions fuelled sharp moves across commodity markets, with oil and gold experiencing some of their sharpest swings so far into the year.
Still, even if market relaxation was nowhere to be seen, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Periods like this can create opportunities, as volatility opens the door to new trading strategies. That said, it also raises clients’ expectations regarding execution quality and the reliability of the infrastructure supporting their trades, adding a greater sense of responsibility for companies like B2PRIME.
That responsibility has shaped much of our work over the past few months, because periods like Q2 are, in a way, precisely what our team builds for. Success can’t be measured accurately by how well a business performs when markets are calm — the real test is how consistently it delivers when markets are under pressure.
For B2PRIME, our resilience was reflected in our performance: between Q1 and Q2 2026, our net profit nearly doubled (up 79%). At the same time, our operating profit rose 74%, confirming that this acceleration is coming from the core trading business, not one-off items. This is tangible proof that the investments we've made so far in infrastructure are translating directly to our bottom line even as market conditions grow more demanding.
Here’s a closer look at what has been in the works for us so far.
Embedding AI Deeper Into Our Infrastructure
It is no secret, of course, that artificial intelligence continues to reshape the financial industry at an extraordinary pace, and naturally, B2PRIME has no intention of falling behind in its implementation. We keep an eye on prominent market trends and always seek new ways to apply them in ways that would solve practical problems for traders. AI, in our eyes, represents the next evolutionary stage in how trading infrastructure should operate.
One of our biggest milestones in this regard was the launch of the AI Assistant inside B2TRADER, embedding AI capabilities natively within our products and infrastructure. It marked the first public step in our broader vision of building an AI-native brokerage.
The thinking behind it is simple: the real challenge in trading today is not finding accurate information — professional traders already have access to enormous amounts of data.
The hard part is interpreting all that data quickly enough to make better decisions in a timely manner, even as markets continue moving.
The AI Assistant solves this problem by bringing all relevant context into one workspace without asking users to jump between research portals, news feeds, analytics platforms, and market terminals.
Since its initial rollout in June, we've continued to build on that foundation, most recently by allowing guests direct access so that traders can explore the Assistant and its insights before deciding if they want to commit to a business relationship.
As an important side note, at B2PRIME, we don't believe AI can — or should — replace human judgement. But what it can do is remove much of the unnecessary complexity, allowing traders to focus their attention on making better-informed decisions with minimal friction.
B2TRADER’s case was the first visible example of our long-term vision, but it is only one part of a much broader transformation. Under the hood, our team is working to embed artificial intelligence widely across our infrastructure, both in the systems our clients use every day and in our internal processes. In the future, there will be new updates to share on this, so stay in touch!
Improving the Client Experience
Of course, at the end of the day, technology is only valuable if it makes life easier for the people using it. So alongside our AI successes, Q2 also marked the release of a completely redesigned front-end interface for our clients.
It might not sound all that terribly complicated, but the transformation goes well beyond just a few visual changes. We've migrated the core of our client cabinet onto a modern technology stack: an initial step that allows our teams to develop, improve, and expand the platform far more efficiently.
Already, this has created a smoother experience for our users, as they can move between account management and trading in a seamless fashion, reducing unnecessary complications throughout their typical workflow.
With that foundation now in place, our team now has the flexibility to continue enhancing the products our clients rely on for many years ahead, ensuring that the workspace itself can be a driver of their success.
A Milestone Week in Cyprus
Stepping beyond technology matters now, B2PRIME also had several notable highlights in terms of human interactions and community updates over these past few months.
We had the opportunity to meet up with many industry colleagues during the iFX EXPO International that took place in Cyprus this June before welcoming many of them to another edition of our B2MEET event.
Since launching this initiative, our goal has always been to build a space where experienced professionals could have honest conversations, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships without the distractions and fanfare that often accompany larger conferences.
The conversations during B2MEET are important in our eyes because they are a reminder that our industry is ultimately built by people. Behind every trading platform and technological innovation are individuals working to solve increasingly complex challenges together. Those relationships remain one of the strongest foundations for sustainable development.
In the future, we'll be taking the B2MEET community beyond Europe, with new events already being planned across Asia.
Our New Home in Cyprus
Finally, there is one more milestone that means a great deal to all of us: in June, we officially opened our expanded Cyprus office. After a full year of renovation, B2PRIME has a new home base that reflects both our growth and commitment to building a business designed to excel in the long term.
Said growth is visible not only in our team or geography, but in our financial foundations as well. During Q2, B2PRIME's shareholder equity increased by 54%, giving us even greater confidence for continued expansion and investment in people, products and global presence.
As our client base grows, it is only right that our internal environment evolves alongside it, giving our teams the resources and the space they need to keep delivering the institutional-grade services our clients expect. Most of all, we hope this new home becomes a place our clients and partners visit often.
Looking Ahead
One thing I've learned over the years is that the busiest periods inside a company don't always coincide with the busiest news cycles outside it.
Behind the scenes, our team is now working on something big — a step that will allow us to grow further and meet the evolving investment needs of our clients. We can't share the details just yet, but we are genuinely excited about what's ahead, as it will open an entirely new chapter for B2PRIME.
Every improvement we make — whether it's infrastructure, regulation, AI, or client-facing services — is guided by the same objective: helping our clients operate with greater confidence and simplicity in increasingly complex markets.
The momentum we've built supports this: by the halfway point of 2026, B2PRIME had already surpassed its total trading income for the whole of 2025 (€56.5M vs €53M). Meanwhile, our H1 2026 net profit is 133.5% of full-year 2025 earnings.
Since the year is still far from over, we can take these figures as ironclad proof that the next stage of development is only beginning for the Group. H1 2026 wasn't the peak for us — it's a launchpad. We’ve entered H2 2026 with a stronger balance sheet and expanding margins, providing a solid base to fund our expansion.
None of this would be possible without the trust of our clients, the dedication of our team, and the support of our partners around the world. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
We look forward to sharing much more with you in the coming months!
Warm regards,
