Who is FXecosystem?

FXecosystem is a connectivity solution designed to ease the fragmentation of connectivity in the FX market. We offer an easy-to-implement, affordable solution, which offers an alternative to the ‘connectivity spaghetti’ which exists in the market today – enabling faster, more efficient trading. As an experienced FX team, we know and understand the challenges of operating in the 24-hour global FX environment, so have created a solution that provides faster onboarding, lower latency and a less expensive service than anything currently available from legacy connectivity providers. FXecosystem is ultimately changing how the FX market connects.

What does FXecosystem bring to the market that is different?

Technology advancement continues to enhance price execution and data discovery. Meanwhile delivery still takes place over old legacy extranet infrastructures and high latency, expensive, legacy networks or unreliable internet connections. What FXecosystem offers is different – using optimised single-fibre connections, we offer single-point and direct connectivity to multiple FX participants on a global scale. The result is a scalable, cost-efficient, faster and measurably better service, that what currently exists in the market. The key benefits which we bring to our clients include:

Simplified connectivity which offers easy connections to multiple buy- and sell-side names over low latency routes

Meet-Me-Rooms established in leading data centres in London, New York,Tokyo, Moscow, Hong Kong and Singapore, without having to take full space

More cost effective and faster to implement than multiple leased lines

Point-to-point service over layer-1 and layer-2 with no rerouting

Fast-growing community of market participants of banks, ECNs, vendors and buy-side institutions

Bespoke solution for each client’s specific needs: not one size-fits-all

We are a niche company specifically focused on FX, so we truly understand our clients’ requirements


What’s a Meet-Me-Room (FXE-MMR)?

The FXE-MMR is a meeting point within leading data centres where buy- and sell-side participants physically connect via a secure, low latency and robust network to trade and exchange data. Within this MMR, market participants can interconnect with each other quickly and efficiently. To interconnect, FXecosystem provides participants with a circuit or cross-connect from their offices or collocation position to the closest FX-MMR. We then arrange cross connections amongst participants within the Meet-Me Room. By taking an existing, proven architecture in the telecoms world and transplanting it into foreign exchange trading, FXecosystem is effectively changing how the market connects, offering clients cost savings, which satisfying the constant desire for speed and edge. The result? A single point-of-entry to secure low latency, physical cross connections, via a point-to-point network.
