We believe that our partnership with Beeks Financial Cloud will bring much-needed peace of mind to many of our clients in terms of the deployment process, taking into account Beeks’ level of sophistication. As for the rest – XTRD has you covered.” said Serg Gulko, Co-Founder, and CTO at XTRD.

Cryptocurrency Exchange Beaxy Partners with XTRD to Onboard Institutional Investors

Beaxy has released details of a partnership with XTRD, whose trading engine is prized for its low latency and high performance. As an all-in-one platform, Beaxy will service retail and institutional investors, with the latter group aided with the support of XTRD. Beaxy was founded with the goal of improving the crypto trading experience for investors of all kinds. Its ethos aligns closely with that of XTRD, which connects exchanges within the cryptocurrency ecosystem for the benefit of all participants.

As a result of the partnership, Beaxy will link to XTRD’s universal FIX API, enabling it to provide access for institutional investors wishing to purchase cryptocurrency in a secure and user-friendly environment. The arrangement will see Beaxy provide white glove support for XTRD clients. Through combining their technical know-how and collaborating closely, both platforms intend to make the onboarding process easier for institutional investors, and to set new benchmarks for other cryptocurrency exchanges to aspire to.

“We have huge respect for the work XTRD have been doing to improve the crypto trading experience through their efficient trade execution technology that was perfected in the traditional financial markets,” said Beaxy CEO Artak. “Through exposing XTRD to Beaxy’s growing community of traders, we’re confident that we can demonstrate the benefits of combining superior technology with excellent customer service to create a trading environment that is more enjoyable, and ultimately more profitable for investors”.

The increasing influx of so-called smart money into the cryptocurrency market is predicted to bring with it an expectation of enhanced performance, particularly from institutional investors who are accustomed to financial markets in which downtime is minimal and orders are matched quickly and efficiently, with high liquidity and low spreads. The Beaxy platform is already accessible in demo form ahead of fully launching upon completion of a token sale commencing on September 1st. Thereafter, traders will be able to experience the feature-rich platform for themselves, powered by XTRD’s advanced technology.

XTRD Product and Partnership Update

The easiest way to describe this is “work as usual”.

Our team is working to deliver highly-demanded Binance connector followed by Bittrex and OKEx. We discovered that we can easily handle all instruments traded on Binance in terms of managing orders books in a real-time and keeping historical market data. This means that instead of the original idea of providing only ETH, BTC vs fiat pairs for trading, XTRD will give access to the vast majority of tokens.

We are continuing to explore different partnerships that might bring more value to crypto community. One of them is possible co-operation with Blockchain Terminal. It’s still a bit premature to articulate about it’s exact nature but both companies are seeing a lot of synergies and ways how we can work together.

XTRD is looking to extend existing FIX API by providing crypto-related real-time news sourced from one of the industry-leaders — NewsEdge.

FIX protocol has special message times designated exactly for news delivery so, with market data, execution, and news coming from a single provider — XTRD might become a one-stop shop for graphical-rich trading platforms.
