our client offering

CMC has built a high-performing business around two core verticals: Direct to Consumer, and Platform Technology as a Service, or B2B.

D2C

Best-in-class multi-asset trading and investing experience delivering seamless access across global markets.

Platform Tech as a Service

Institutional grade platform technology and execution services across B2B and B2B2C.

This two-vertical model has diversified revenue streams, broadened global client base, and enhanced operational leverage. It has laid the foundation for sustainable, long-term growth and it is the CMC that you see today.

However, with the advent of our third vertical, it is not the CMC you will see tomorrow.

Web 3.0 and DeFi Capabilities

Our third vertical is about building financial infrastructure that is faster, more accessible, and more scalable – taking everything we have built in traditional finance and enhancing it through blockchain technologies.

You can read more about the development of this third vertical here.
