24 Exchange Makes Strides in Forex Clearing
24X Bermuda Limited, commonly recognized as 24 Exchange, has recently propelled itself into the spotlight by becoming an authenticated trade source for FX Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDF) clearing at LCH ForexClear. This strategic move, pivotal for both the company and its clients, serves to streamline the trading process while enhancing the efficiency and security of financial transactions in the foreign exchange market.
As part of this development, 24 Exchange successfully executed its inaugural LCH-cleared production trade in collaboration with its esteemed partner, Standard Chartered Bank. This accomplishment positions 24 Exchange as only the second electronic FX trading platform that provides a direct workflow to LCH ForexClear for clients operating outside the U.S.
The introduction of this direct connection allows 24 Exchange's non-U.S. users to engage in trades more fluidly while simultaneously facilitating immediate clearing with LCH ForexClear. This functionality is paramount as it contributes to the mitigation of counterparty risks and aligns with the regulatory demands created by uncleared margin requirements, thanks to features such as multi-lateral margin netting.
In a statement reflecting on this achievement, CEO and Founder Dmitri Galinov expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled that 24 Exchange is now an approved platform for NDF clearing for our global institutional users. This new settlement path with LCH ForexClear provides an exceptional option for our non-U.S. users, empowering them to reduce risks and costs while enhancing operational efficiency simultaneously."
Looking forward, 24 Exchange aims to maintain its trajectory of innovation and leadership within the financial trading space, ensuring that cost-effective trading at optimal prices continues to be a hallmark of its service offering. The company’s commitment to providing seamless trading experiences through a multi-asset interface, initiated in 2019, has already allowed market participants access to enhanced liquidity at lower costs.
As 24 Exchange forges ahead, it remains dedicated to not only offering FX NDFs, swaps, and spot trading to institutional clients but also to expanding its service framework to ensure its users can trade effectively in the global financial landscape. The company's mission to deliver the lowest possible cost to market participants emphasizes their focus on customer-centric solutions across a variety of asset classes.
