Our strategy
CMC’s strategy is built around our three-vertical model: Direct-to-Consumer (D2C), Platform Technology as a Service (PTAS), and Web 3.0 and DeFi. This structure enables us to scale globally, diversify revenue, and lead in both traditional and decentralised markets. Our focus is on expanding multi-asset trading, growing institutional partnerships, and accelerating innovation in tokenisation and blockchain infrastructure. With our proven technology, strong balance sheet, and disciplined investment approach, we are well positioned to drive sustainable margin growth and long-term value creation across all client segments.
As CMC moves into FY 2026, we have refined our strategic priorities to reflect the evolving nature of our business and the opportunities emerging across digital assets, institutional markets, and global trading infrastructure.
Our three-vertical model – spanning Direct-to-Consumer, Platform Technology as a Service, and Web 3.0 and DeFi – is becoming increasingly embedded across the business, and our focus has shifted towards scaling these capabilities and delivering the next-generation of financial products.
While FY 2026 marks a shift towards new areas of focus, our progress in FY 2025 laid the essential groundwork. You can explore how our FY 2025 priorities translated into real-world progress below – and how these have evolved into the forward-looking initiatives now guiding us through FY 2026.
FY 2026 Focus
Diversified Growth: Drive revenue growth and diversification by leveraging our expertise to build long-term sustainability across a broader geographic footprint while remaining competitive in our core retail trading operations.
Continued Investment: Maximise the potential of our existing technology and data capabilities, harnessing their full value to enhance our customer offerings—particularly across the business-to-business segment and emerging Web3.0 and decentralised finance spaces.
Greater balance: Expanding our institutional and investment offerings will create a more balanced business mix.
Cost focus and discipline: Remain committed to cost and capital efficiency, reinforcing accountability and disciplined execution to optimise financial and operational performance.
FY 2025 Focus

Our commitment and approach to innovating and leveraging our products has led to the development of our cutting-edge customer offering, enabling us to be the one-stop financial trading and investment services platform for the future.
