Boston Technologies is adding Hotspot FX, which seems to be one of the fastest growing institutional FX platforms, into its network of liquidity providers. By doing so BT enhances liquidity of its BT Prime service and allows market participants unable to do so themselves to plug into Hotspot’s ECN.
Boston Technologies is now offering access to Hotspot FX’s anonymous FX ECN coupled with its proven FX technology services and suite of products. This service is geared for retail forex brokerages, small to medium size hedge-funds and other institutional FX market participants.
The addition of Hotspot brings institutional quality liquidity to market participants that formerly could not economically or efficiently access Hotspot FX liquidity. Utilizing Boston Technologies’ prime brokerage, technology and back office infrastructure allows clients to access Hotspot liquidity seamlessly and transparently while reducing trading costs.
