Futu Holdings Limited (FUTU - Free Report) registered a whopping 86.3% year-over-year surge in its revenues in the third quarter of 2025. While the company witnessed an explosive 90.6% year-over-year rise in revenues from brokerage commission and handling charges, it is making efforts to pivot toward a “one-stop” financial ecosystem to mitigate market turbulence.
It is impressive how interest income of $391.3 million has caught up to FUTU’s brokerage commission and handling charges amounting to $374.5 million. This diversification is an effective strategy to generate steady returns from margin financing, securities lending and idle cash in a situation where trading velocity tanks.
FUTU’s inclination toward crypto trading and wealth management makes its one-stop strategy more prominent. In the third quarter of 2025, crypto trading volume surged 161% from the preceding quarter, driven by 90% sequential growth in crypto assets and higher trading velocity. On the wealth management front, asset balance increased 7.6% from the preceding quarter due to money market inflows and fixed income products.
The company launched a self-service request-for-quote function for structured products, aiding professional investors to customize products based on conditions they demand, obtain quotes and trade without human hindrance. It will allow them to fulfill client needs while boosting operational efficiency.
Futu Holdings is ensuring that it continues to generate revenues even if users halt trading during a recession. It can capture more customers on the back of its one-stop strategy that provides easy access to other services that generate management and service fees.
