Our Vision

When OptAxe was founded in 2021, we had a shared vision: build a platform for traders to find offsetting risk with minimal market impact. Use technology - but respect the complexity of an OTC market where bilateral relationships are sacrosanct.

Foreign Exchange, the largest financial marketplace in the world, is hindered by its very nature as an OTC market. Chat-based trading, manual processes, voice broking and a critical lack of visibility on where the available liquidity is pre-trade, means opportunities are lost and trading costs are increased. There needed to be an alternative.

OptAxe has been built on the foundation of partnering with liquidity providers, not disintermediating them. Our core philosophy is a shared interest to reduce trading costs and improve bilateral access to liquidity. We do this using modern protocols that offer direct connectivity with a reduced market footprint.

Regulated as an MTF in 2024, we are extremely proud of the support we receive from our early banking and asset manager partners that share our vision. We look forward to expanding our network in 2025 and building the future of FX trading together.
