XTX Markets Client Satisfaction
The competitive position of XTX Markets remains underpinned by its rapidly increasing prominence as one of the best liquidity providers for foreign exchange. The company topped out Euromoney’s this year.
According to the trading volumes poll, XTX Markets took home about 10 percent of FX spot and forwards volumes. Overall, the firm held 9 percent of the total eFX market, while surpassing JPMorgan in spot transactions with an 11.5 percent market share.
Overall, the rise of the non-bank liquidity provider is continuing to reshape the industry as we know it. After years of heavy dependence on traditional LPs, the buy side now has a valid alternative choice, outside of front-running HFT shops.
The high client satisfaction scores are driving continuing growth for a company which is now consistently outperforming many of its peers in the FX industry.
