360T Wins Industry Awards for FX Forwards/Swaps and Market Data

September 2020

Frankfurt am Main – September 16, 2020 – 360T has been named as the “Best ECN/MDP for Forwards/Swaps” and the “Best Market Data Provider” at the FX Markets 2020 e-FX Awards.

The winners of the e-FX Awards, which are now in their 18th year, are determined by a panel of expert judges from across the FX industry, in addition to senior editors at FX Markets.

“We are delighted to have won these two awards,” said Carlo Kölzer, CEO of 360T and Global Head of FX at Deutsche Boerse Group. “In recent years 360T and Deutsche Boerse Group have made strategic investments into our FX Swaps and Market Data offerings and these awards are both a validation of this strategy and evidence of our skill in executing upon it. As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of 360T this year, they also reflect our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence with the FX market.”

Although 360T has long been known for its strength as a venue for buy side firms needing to trade FX Forwards and Swaps, the past 12 months have seen the development and subsequent launch of the innovative MidMatch platform, a fully automated FX Swaps limit order book with mid-rate matching capability aimed at the interbank market. Essentially, the platform offers FX Swaps traders all the tools and functionality of a voice brokered trade with the look, feel and efficiency of electronic spot trading.

The mid-rate for the MidMatch platform is driven by 360T’s Swaps Data Feed (SDF), which was developed in partnership with DIGITEC and offers full granularity across the curve from O/N out to two years in over 40 pairs, providing Swaps Market Data in an unlimited number of crosses in G10, EM and NDF currency pairs. The SDF is now directly integrated into the pricing engines at 20 major banks and includes key dates such as central bank meetings, IMMs, month end/beginning and quarterly turns all standardised within the curve.

But while the SDF is a truly unique product it constitutes only one part of 360T’s Market Data Suite, which also includes the Essential Data Feed (EDF), the Historical Data Feed (HDF) and, most recently, a Flows Data Feed (FDF). The FDF is a consolidation of all the executed data series from 360T’s 20 years servicing the FX industry and is formulated to provide insight into volumes, directions and trends across FX executions.

“The launch of our MidMatch platform and the development of our Market Data Suite have been two major initiatives for 360T over the past year and we are thrilled that the industry is recognising the value of these, both through their support of each and now through these awards. The trend in FX is clearly towards increased electronification and automation, which needs robust, reliable data to support it and it is gratifying to see that 360T is being acknowledged as a market leading provider on both of these fronts,” said Simon Jones, Chief Growth Officer at 360T.
