Crossover Markets, a digital asset trading technology firm, announced a major initiative to eliminate commissions for Taker clients trading in two popular stablecoin pairs, USDT/USD and USDC/USD, starting November 1, 2024. This move is a strategic response to the increasing demand from retail brokers who use stablecoins as funding for retail accounts.
The CROSSx Crypto ECN, operated by Crossover Markets, is specifically designed to meet the unique liquidity requirements of institutions in the cryptocurrency markets. The decision to waive fees aims to benefit brokers and other Taker clients, easing the financial burden imposed by high treasury trade fees and spreads that brokers and other market participants have faced.
Brandon Mulvihill, Co-Founder and CEO of Crossover Markets, explained the company's mission to enhance trading conditions by reducing trading costs, emphasizing how the fee removal aligns with their efforts. CROSSx is acknowledged for providing arguably the best spreads globally for various trading pairs, including the stablecoin pairs in question.
The initiative to drop commissions further supports retail broker clients by alleviating costs on the funding aspect for Taker participants. Crossover's focus on speed and liquidity is evident as their ECN, equipped with an advanced matching engine, manages to execute 99% of trades in under 10 microseconds and handles billions of quotes daily.
Crossover also prioritizes advanced execution practices, analyzing multiple factors such as price, size, and behavioral characteristics of market makers to ensure optimal trading conditions. These innovations help create a more competitive and equitable environment for its users.
Crossover Markets positions itself as a leader in the digital asset trading technology sector, leveraging its team's extensive experience in FX trading, prime brokerage technology, and artificial intelligence to facilitate institutional entry into the cryptocurrency market.
