Globally, NDF trading volume nearly doubled between 2016 and 2022, reaching $266 billion.
The exchange will offer Asian USD crosses initially, with Latin American crosses planned later.
LMAX Group, a leading independent operator of institutional
FX trading venues, has announced the launch of FX Non-Deliverable Forwards
(NDFs) trading on its central limit order book.
The initiative aims to cater to the growing demand for FX
NDF trading in the Asia Pacific region, where institutional liquidity is
deepening, and market structure enhancements are underway.
Asia's NDF Trading Dominance
According to LMAX Group, Singapore holds significant
importance in their expansion strategy, considering Asia's prominence in NDF
trading. Three out of the top four NDF currencies globally are from the Asia
Pacific region.

Globally, the trading volume in NDFs has witnessed a notable
surge, nearly doubling between 2016 and 2022, reaching $266 billion. This
growth is attributed to the increased electronification of NDF markets and the
rising number of market participants.
David Mercer, CEO, LMAX Group, said: “As demand for
institutional liquidity for Asian currencies continues to grow, adding NDFs to
our global FX offering is a logical next step following the launch of our
matching engine in SG1 in 2022."
"We recognise the significant potential that
remains untapped in the Asian FX market and will continue to broaden our
product suite, expand our distribution capabilities globally, and build the
leading institutional FX marketplace.”

Initially, FX NDF trading on LMAX Exchange will focus on top
Asian USD crosses, including Indian Rupee South Korean Won, New
Taiwan Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Indonesian Rupiah, Philippine
Peso, and Malaysian Ringgit.
Additionally, Latin American
crosses are expected to be included in the offering in subsequent phases.
Trading will be facilitated via LMAX Exchange's platforms in Singapore and
London.
Matt DellaRocca, Head of Liquidity and Analytics, APAC, LMAX
Exchange, added: “We are delighted to go live with this offering, which will
provide local FX market participants with access to an expanded pool of NDF
liquidity through a regulated exchange venue and a CLOB model that delivers
efficient market structure and transparent, precise, consistent execution.”

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
