Institutional spot FX volumes increased across Asia, the US, and Europe.
Notable growth was seen in all important platforms, including Click 365, Cboe, Euronext FX, and 360T.
Last month, the foreign exchange (Forex or FX) market saw no shortage of volatility, particularly in the Japanese yen and the declining US dollar. As a result, the average daily volumes (ADV) of the largest institutional players in the industry recorded increases both monthly and annually.
Institutional Spot FX
Volumes Up in Asia and the US
At the
Japanese platform Click 365, owned by Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX), currency
volumes in July reached 2,747,854 contracts, increasing by 19% compared to June
and 6.2% compared to the same period last year. The average daily volumes stood
at 119,474.
The highest
activity, similar to previous months, was observed on the USD/JPY pair,
generating an ADV of 33,496 contracts, which was a 56% jump compared to June,
but a 15% decrease compared to July 2023.

It's also
worth noting that the second most popular pair became TRY/JPY with an ADV of
26,431 contracts and a jump of over 90% both on a monthly and annual basis.
In the US
market, FX volumes also grew. Cboe spot volumes in July were $1 trillion,
rising from $950 billion reported a month earlier. Due to a higher number of
trading days, the ADV indicator declined. In June, trading occurred for 20
days, and in July, it occurred for 23, resulting in an average daily volume of $44.5 billion
compared to $47.5 billion from the previous month.
Europe Also on the Rise
How does
the situation look in the Old Continent? For Euronext FX, total volumes grew to
$583 billion, and the ADV indicator was $25 billion. This result is better than June's when Forex's volume stood at $558 billion. However, similar to Cboe, a
higher number of trading days caused the ADV to slide from over $28 billion.
On the
German stock exchange-owned 360T, July FX volumes exceeded $707 billion, rising
from $634 billion reported a month earlier. ADV also recorded a modest jump,
from $30.2 billion to $30.8 billion in July.
It's worth
noting that these results are higher than last year. At that time, 360T's ADV was $29.6 billion, while CBOE's was $43.9 billion.

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
