Digital asset and foreign exchange solutions provider GCEX introduced XplorAllocate today (Thursday), a multi-asset tool designed to automate trade allocation processes for institutional investors and fund managers.

GCEX Launches Multi-Asset Allocation Tool for Fund Managers

The new service enables users to execute and distribute block trades across multiple client portfolios in both traditional and digital asset markets, according to the London-based company. The system supports crypto spot, crypto derivatives, forex CFDs, and traditional financial products.

“Traders need tools that make their lives easier, not more complicated,” Michael Aagaard, Managing Director at GCEX, commented. “With GCEX’s XplorAllocate, we’re providing a seamless, automated solution that takes care of the heavy lifting, removing the complexity of manually executing trades for each client.”

The system allows for customizable allocation parameters, including distribution by percentage or share size, while maintaining compliance tracking capabilities. Users can access the platform through API integration within GCEX's existing infrastructure.

This is another addition to the “Xplor” product family, following the launch of the XplorDigital suite by the digital prime brokerage in October, which includes a data feed covering FX, CFDs, and crypto.

GCEX, which operates under regulatory oversight in the UK, Denmark, and Dubai, developed the platform as part of its institutional-focused XplorDigital suite of services.

Crypto Demand Surge

This is another GCEX update, following a series of recent developments highlighting the growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency trading. The company has integrated with Fireblocks' enterprise platform to enhance its institutional cryptocurrency trading services.

Previously, GCEX introduced an Open API solution, allowing institutional clients to access trading data and portfolio information programmatically. This interface provides direct connectivity to GCEX’s back-office systems, enabling real-time access to balances, positions, and trade data.

“Whether you’re trading crypto derivatives or traditional financial products, this tool simplifies the allocation process so you can focus on what really matters—executing your strategy,” added Agaard.

In November 2024, GCEX expanded its collaboration with institutional custodian Hex Trust by launching the “Secured Accounts” service. This initiative aims to enhance asset protection for institutional clients in the EU and UK markets.
