LandFX expanded into institutional space

LandFX has acquired its FCA license back in 2016 to operate a foreign exchange and CFDs brokerage business. After one year, the company launched an institutional offering under the brand Land-Liqudity, which is focused on providing institutional liquidity for FX, CFDs, metals and commodities.
At the time, LandFX that one of the reasons for the launch of the institutional business arm of the company is the recent changes in the regulatory environment. According to the firm, the retail FX market in Europe is becoming relatively unattractive for the brokers, which is why the company is looking into new opportunities in the wholesale liquidity and clearing market.
