OTC FX options remain one of the last major markets still traded over chat and voice. OptAxe is changing that. An independent, FCA-authorised Multilateral Trading Facility, OptAxe brings axe-driven liquidity discovery and electronic matching to the global FX options market. Traders discover relevant liquidity earlier, reduce unnecessary information leakage and turn fragmented interest into executable opportunities.

OptAxe is bringing a diverse network of participants together and allowing them to distribute and discover real trading interests in one place. Liquidity providers price in their own systems via FIX API, while forthcoming buy-side integration into existing OMS/EMS systems will allow traders to manage risk inside their own workflows. Bilateral trades occur on venue with straight-through processing, reducing the costs and operational risks of chat-based trading.

OptAxe is live trading multi-leg OTC FX options and will be launching exotic FX options and precious metals options in late 2026.
