Oman’s market cap rises as trading volumes surge

  • Total value up 25% from a year ago
  • MSX index at seven-year high
  • Total securities traded up 180%

The market capitalisation of companies listed on Oman’s stock exchange rose year on year as the value of trading surged in the first nine months of 2025.

At the end of September, the total value of companies on the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) stood at $79.3 billion, 25 percent higher than in September 2024.

The total value of shares traded during the first nine months of this year shot up by 193 percent year on year to $6.3 billion, according to the National Center for Statistical Information (NCSI).

This increase was driven by aggressive buying from local investment funds and institutions, NCSI said. 

The number of executed transactions was 327,000 in the first nine months of this year, up from 159,000 in 2024.

The MSX’s index peaked at 5181.62, up 10 percent from the first nine months of last year, its highest in over seven years.

Total securities traded increased by 180 percent to $13.2 billion between the two periods, driven by the financial sector rising by 42 percent, NCSI figures show.  

Investors say the MSX will benefit further with more cross-listings with other exchanges around the world.

“It is encouraging to see higher values in the MSX but we also need to do more cross-listings with other bourses to keep the momentum up,” Khalfan Al-Kharusi, an independent investor in the MSX, said.

In September this year, the MSX and stock exchanges in China signed deals to allow cross-listing of traded funds on each other’s markets.

The Omani bourse signed two separate agreements with the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Avalanche and Hyperliquid Lead Crypto Rally Post-Fed Rate Cut

The post Avalanche and Hyperliquid Lead Crypto Rally Post-Fed Rate Cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Crypto markets have posted broad gains following the Federal Reserve’s quarter-point rate cut. Hyperliquid’s USDH stablecoin has been “attracting liquidity across the board from many institutions,” according to an analyst. The momentum now hinges on project-specific catalysts, with altcoins more exposed to volatility than Bitcoin, experts told Decrypt. Avalanche (AVAX) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) led the altcoin rally on Thursday as digital assets responded positively to the Federal Reserve’s latest rate cut and project-specific developments. AVAX rocketed 10.1% to $32.59, while HYPE jumped 7.2% to $58.43 in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data.  Other major altcoins followed suit, with Dogecoin (DOGE) advancing 5.4% to $0.27, Solana (SOL) climbing 4.5% to $244 and Cardano (ADA) rising 4.3% to $0.90. (ADA) rising 4.3% to $0.90.  Bitcoin (BTC) maintained its position above $117,000 with a modest 0.3% gain, while Ethereum (ETH) posted a 2.1% increase to $4,588. The rally follows the Fed’s widely anticipated quarter-point rate cut, which lowered the federal funds rate to a range of between 4.25% to 4.50%.  Bitcoin and other major digital assets largely traded flat in the immediate aftermath, as investors had already priced in the highly anticipated Fed call. “While the Fed’s rate cut buoyed broader risk sentiment, AVAX’s outperformance seems driven by Avalanche’s announcement of a $1 billion Digital Asset Treasury plan,” Min Jung, senior analyst at quantitative trading firm Presto, told Decrypt. The Avalanche Foundation is in advanced talks to raise $1 billion via a Nasdaq-listed firm backed by Hivemind and a Dragonfly-sponsored SPAC, with proceeds earmarked for discounted AVAX buybacks, according to the Financial Times. Bitwise also filed paperwork on Monday for an AVAX ETF, utilizing Coinbase to custody the digital assets, which adds to the token’s institutional adoption prospects. Jung noted the rally could “sustain in the near term…
