Is a way to bring wallstreet technology to cryptocurrency markets, right now the crypto markets is fragmented there’s over hundreds of them.
They’ve different access interfaces APIs from automated trading, if you want to trade across multiple markets you have to write teach individuals APIs hundred times over which kinda sucks.
On top of that, you have multiple interfaces there are web pages, so if you have 5 exchanges trading on so you have 5 web pages.
On top of that, liquidity are not that great. So if you’re trying to work on million dollar order.. Just leave a large order in general, you have to go through across multiple exchanges.
So their taking existing financial types solves these problems, and bringing to crypto markets to make trading easier and better for everybody in the space ranging from hedge funds, intuitions , banks, stocks in traders in general.
Sound like XTRADE is solving a big problem which is a serious barrier money flowing into crypto, why this problem has not been solve already?
A lot of exchanges are built by Blockchain, Which obviously it should be working because these are blockchain projects. But there’s no overlap from like traditional finance, technical of guys versus crypto exchanges. That technology has to basically come from guys know how to build it and sort of venn diagram between the blockchain guys and the finance guys. Somebody who kind a known both is very minimal so we kind a bringing that knowledge of how the crypto knowledge work and also how the traditional finance market work
Progress? Is this an idea or there’s an idea that’s already developed?
They’re creating a Four products. FIX API (Financial Information Exchange Application programming interface) fix is like the communication to multiple system in finance, to communicate the FIX protocol. Their taking that same protocol that everybody knows loves and uses and creating a layer with the crypto exchanges APIs.
So now, basically instead of having going to right through hundred APIs to trade with your algorithm program or just you want to integrate it. Just inform them once, and they’ll give you all the data and all the execution from there and this is already built. Is a matter of adding adding more exchanges, right now they’ve more exchanges added.
