Edgewater
Markets, a non-bank gold liquidity provider, has integrated with financial
technology company Gold-i, connecting its trading infrastructure with Gold-i's
MatrixNET liquidity management platform, the companies announced today (Thursday).

Integrates with Gold-i's MatrixNET Platform
The
integration allows Gold-i clients to access Edgewater's precious metals,
foreign exchange (FX), and non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) liquidity, while
providing Edgewater's clients with Gold-i's liquidity management capabilities.
Emanuel Georgouras, the UK CEO of Edgewater
“Our
integration with Gold-i enables us to combine our unrivalled regional credit
facilities and trading solutions with Gold-i's powerful liquidity management
and distribution platform,” said Emanuel Georgouras, the UK CEO of Edgewater. “It
brings together two market leading technology providers, leveraging both our
strengths to enhance our clients' trading environments.”
Gold-i's
MatrixNET platform offers various routing and aggregation methods that allow
users to customize execution models based on client preferences. The system is
designed to help institutional clients access liquidity pools, achieve better
pricing, expand their client base, and reduce toxic trading.
“Edgewater
is a fantastic addition to our MatrixNET, giving even greater choice to our
clients,” said Tom Higgins, Gold-i CEO. “Our integration with
Edgewater provides our clients with access to high quality precious metals and
FX liquidity with tight spreads. It enables Edgewater's clients to manage
their liquidity with ease and access a wide range of advanced liquidity
management features.”
Gold-i Targets Crypto
Last year,
Gold-i made several moves in the cryptocurrency space, forming a partnership
with Cypator and expanding its digital asset liquidity offering for FX/CFD
brokers.
At the same
time, the company struck a separate deal with the crypto exchange Bullish,
which recorded an average daily trading volume of $1.6 billion in 2024.
In an
interview with Finance Magnates, Higgins acknowledged that “Crypto
liquidity and FX liquidity are sort of coming together,” highlighting
Gold-i’s growing interest in Bitcoin and similar digital assets.
“When
you've got a traditional retail FX broker, and they want to access crypto
liquidity, how do they make that happen? It's different liquidity providers;
it's different ways of accessing it. The technology is similar, but you need
different angles on it,” he explained.
Edgewater
Markets has operated its prime brokerage business since 2006 and launched an
institutional-only margin business in 2023 under Georgouras' leadership.
Gold-i, headquartered in the UK with global operations, provides technology
solutions for brokers, funds, liquidity providers, and exchanges in both the FX
and digital asset sectors.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
