Fortress Core Connect Announces Strategic Partnership with Ouinex

Fortress Core Connect, a leading fintech and liquidity infrastructure provider is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Ouinex, the first crypto-native exchange to offer a No‑CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) execution model, unique legacy cross margin functionality, and multi-asset trading via a single unified platform.

The partnership enables Tier‑1 liquidity delivery across traditional and digital markets, including foreign exchange, commodities, indices, equities, and cryptocurrencies—within the Ouinex platform. This is made possible through Fortress Core Connect’s direct access and exclusive partnership with ATFX Connect, a globally regulated liquidity provider known for delivering institutional-grade execution services.

This collaboration empowers traders to access a wide range of asset classes through one account and interface, without the friction of switching platforms or exiting the crypto ecosystem. It also preserves the integrity of execution by eliminating common predatory practices associated with traditional order books.

Dany Mawas, CEO & Co-Founder of Fortress Core Connect, commented:

“At Fortress Core, we believe the future of finance lies in convergence, bridging traditional financial markets with the speed, transparency, and accessibility of digital assets. By integrating ATFX Connect’s institutional liquidity and execution into Ouinex, we’re enabling a truly seamless trading experience without compromising on depth, reliability, or compliance.”

Ilies Larbi, CEO of Ouinex, added:

“This is a major step forward in our mission to offer a robust multi-asset ecosystem for the crypto generation. With Fortress Core’s infrastructure and access to an unmatched liquidity engine, Ouinex users now have direct access to top-tier pricing across global markets, all while staying within their crypto-native environment. It’s the kind of liquidity muscle that matches our long-term ambition.”

Key Benefits of the Partnership:

• Tier‑1 Liquidity Access:

Ouinex users can now trade across five major asset classes: crypto, foreign exchange, indices, commodities, and equities through ATFX Connect’s deep and diversified liquidity pools.

• No-CLOB Execution Model:

Ouinex’s unique model protects retail traders from harmful behaviors such as front-running, spoofing, and order book manipulation by removing the traditional central limit order book and prioritizing fairness in execution.

• Unified Trading Environment:

Users benefit from a single trading account and platform interface, eliminating the need for wallet bridging, asset conversions, or third-party pipelines between TradFi and crypto.
