FX Markets Europe 2025 concluded last week in London. While the panels covered everything from macroeconomics to regulation, the real story on the floor was about infrastructure. The message is clear: the plumbing of the FX market is under immense strain, and the gap between legacy technology and future requirements is widening.

Having spoken on the New Rules, New Rails panel and listened to the deep-dives throughout the day, here is my view on the architectural challenges facing the market—and how we solve them.

1. The Capacity Challenge: “The Brakes Are Off”

If you believe your current market data infrastructure is adequate, you need to look at the numbers shared by Marc Hinken (NatWest). He noted that NatWest consumed 2.5 times the amount of market data last year compared to a decade ago. Even more telling from a capacity planning perspective: in April alone (during the “Liberation Day” volatility), they processed 50% of the total market data volume of 2014.

Hinken explained that this isn’t just “more trading”; it is structural. Historically, primary markets acted as a natural brake with 50ms updates and half-pip precision. Today, with millisecond updates and quarter-pip precision, that brake is gone. As Jeremy Smart (XTX) rightly pointed out, much of the banking technology stack is decades old and simply not architected for this continuous firehose of data.

ST View: If your tech stack is built for linear growth, it will fail. You need an architecture designed for exponential throughput to handle these peaks without adding latency to your decision logic.

2. The Liquidity “Mirage” & The Flight to Quality

The explosion of data has created a “liquidity mirage” where visible prices on public order books are a poor proxy for actual depth. Ayesa Latif (Citi) revealed a staggering metric: during volatility events, Citi’s internalisation rates can hit 1,000% of visible liquidity.

We also heard from Ralf Donner (Goldman Sachs) about “phantom liquidity” on anonymous ECNs—participants that vanish the moment stress enters the market. Consequently, when volatility spikes, we see a massive flight to quality. Latif noted that rejection rates on aggregators spike during stress, causing clients to flood back to Single Dealer Platforms (SDPs) where they have a direct line to a bank’s internal risk warehouse.

ST View: You can no longer rely on simple aggregation. The “intelligence” of the execution stack matters more than ever. Sell-side firms need sophisticated engines capable of warehousing and internalising flow dynamically. At smartTrade, we see this shift first-hand: clients are demanding engines that manage this logic in real-time, rather than just acting as pipes to external venues.

3. The Interoperability Challenge: Ledger vs. Blockchain

On the stablecoin panel, I was joined by Sabih Behzad (Deutsche Bank) and Emma Lovett (JPMorgan) and moderated by the excellent Pierre Pourquery (Marceau Partners).

The consensus? We are moving from pilot mode to production.

ST View: You cannot simply treat a stablecoin like another fiat currency pair. We are witnessing a fundamental architectural shift from Accounts (database ledgers) to Wallets (blockchain interaction). The winners will not be those running parallel systems; the winners will be those who can integrate digital asset execution and settlement directly alongside Spot and Swaps in a single, unified stack.  smartTrade with clients in crypto and fiat currencies for many years is of course the ideal partner to help you navigate this hybrid market!

4. The Digitisation Challenge: Swaps

It was excellent to hear from Simon Wilson-Taylor (FXswapX). He highlighted a massive inefficiency: in a $4 trillion market, 79% of inter-dealer volume is still traded via voice.

Simon made a very compelling case for innovation in the inter-dealer space. Specifically, he spoke about moving away from the model of monetising data, which often discourages banks from sharing their best price. His approach—creating a mid-rate using encrypted data to prevent information leakage—is exactly the sort of privacy-focused innovation the swap market needs.

ST View: We see many clients coming to us for help with modernising their swaps price discovery and distribution infrastructure. Initiatives such as this, which increase digitisation in the inter-dealer market, can only help bring more efficiency to the market—ultimately benefiting the underlying clients on whom we all depend.

5. The Adaptation Challenge: AI in the Stack

Finally, we saw practical implementations of AI from both Quoniam Asset Management and Bank of America. We are moving beyond “AI as a buzzword” to “AI as a component.”

ST View: We are seeing Large Language Models (LLMs) integrated into sentiment analysis workflows , and Deep Reinforcement Learning being deployed to adapt execution algorithms in real-time based on fill probability. This requires a tech stack open enough to ingest these models and robust enough to govern them in production.

Final Thoughts

The common thread across all these talks—from the “black screens” in Swaps mentioned by Hinrich Wilhelm Paul (Commerzbank) to the data surges at NatWest —is that “good enough” legacy technology is becoming a liability. The market is being re-platformed, and the complexity is increasing.  If you would like to discuss any of these topics or to hear how smartTrade is helping clients address general  infrastructure challenges please do get in touch.

The dust has settled on another fantastic FullFX London, and for those who couldn’t make it, you missed a day packed with insightful debate and forward-thinking discussions. The event, held at the historic Plaisterers’ Hall, brought together the brightest minds in foreign exchange to tackle the industry’s most pressing questions. As the coffee break sponsor, we at smartTrade were delighted to fuel the conversations and connect with so many of you.

Two of the most exciting and recurring themes of the day were the convergence of TradFi and DeFi and the evolution of the FX Swaps market. While the crypto space is often associated with volatility and speculation, the conversations at FullFX London painted a much more nuanced and promising picture. It’s a tale of two markets, each with its own lessons and opportunities, rapidly learning from one another. Supporting the electronification of swaps workflow is close to our hearts at smartTrade, and so we were glad to see progress is being made here in terms of underlying credit and matching support.

The Swaps Market: Circling the Solution

The “FX Swaps Market Structure 2025 and Beyond” panel was particularly energizing, addressing what many of us have been watching closely for years. The pieces are finally coming together for meaningful transformation in this space. As one panelist aptly put it, we’ve been “circling around” the solution for some time, but the momentum is now undeniable.

The discussion centered on the evolution from soft match to hard match capabilities, the expanding role of clearing houses, and the critical importance of API accessibility for driving automation. What struck me most was the recognition that while many banks have the capability to automate FX swaps, only a few have actually done so. This isn’t a question of technical feasibility but rather one of prioritization and investment. The tipping point may well come from a regulatory driver, but the infrastructure is increasingly ready.

At smartTrade, we’ve been at the forefront of enabling this electronification journey. As one of the first vendors to support ESP swaps aggregation and distribution, we’ve been instrumental in helping banks navigate this transition from its earliest stages. Our technology supports banks in building the connectivity and automation frameworks necessary to participate effectively in the evolving swaps market. The challenge isn’t just about speed—though our ultra-low latency capabilities certainly matter—it’s about providing the right tools for banks to price electronically into order books, manage their exposure across multiple venues, and ultimately deploy algos when the liquidity depth justifies it.

The panel highlighted a crucial insight: with approximately 250 value dates along any curve, the swaps market will never be as “spotified” as the cash market. This complexity demands sophisticated technology that can handle diverse liquidity sources, flexible credit arrangements, and nuanced execution strategies. Voice brokers will continue to play an important role, particularly for longer-dated and more complex structures, but the short end of the curve presents a clear opportunity for automation and efficiency gains.

What’s particularly exciting is the diversity of liquidity now coming online. It’s not just the tier-one banks anymore; regional banks and specialist players are looking at specific areas of the curve and particular currency pairs. This fragmentation of liquidity providers actually creates opportunity, but only if the technology infrastructure can aggregate and access that liquidity efficiently. That’s precisely where smartTrade’s expertise in aggregation, pricing, and distribution becomes invaluable.

The conversation around clearing houses also revealed both promise and caution. While clearing can reduce margin requirements and extend credit capacity, there’s a real risk of fragmenting the market if multiple clearing solutions emerge without interoperability. The industry needs to be thoughtful about how these solutions are implemented to ensure we’re building bridges, not silos.

The Real Revolution is in the Rails

During the “Future of FX Trading” panel, I had the pleasure of sharing smartTrade’s perspective on where the true value of this new technology lies. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of cryptocurrency trading, but the real game-changer is the underlying technology and its potential to revolutionize the world of payments. We often hear about the more sensational aspects of crypto, but we should embrace the possibilities that stablecoins and tokenized deposits offer.

This technology is poised to drastically reduce the costs associated with cross-border payments. This is especially significant for emerging economies where trust in existing institutions may be low and high fixed costs on traditional payment rails make small transactions prohibitively expensive. Even in more developed economies, the ability to make micropayments at minimal cost opens up a world of interesting new use cases. By moving away from the old payment rails, we can also free up the billions of dollars currently held dormant in Nostro accounts, injecting that capital back into the global economy.

Learning from the Past to Build the Future

The “Just Like FX in the 90s” panel drew fascinating parallels between the early days of the electronic FX market and the current state of the digital asset space. The fragmented liquidity, the absence of robust settlement infrastructure, and the challenges in credit tracking are all reminiscent of the hurdles the FX industry overcame decades ago. The key difference? Crypto started with retail and is now attracting institutions, whereas FX evolved in the opposite direction. This presents a unique opportunity for the FX community to bring its hard-won expertise in market structure, compliance, and risk management to this new frontier.

Technology as the Engine of Change

The “Talking Tech” series delved into the role of Artificial Intelligence in our industry. The consensus was that while AI is not yet ready to take over the trading desk, it is already proving invaluable as a tool for enhancing efficiency. From data visualization to automating internal processes, AI is helping firms to better understand their data and serve their clients more effectively. The conversation has moved beyond the hype and is now focused on practical applications that deliver real value.

The ongoing debate around pre-hedging and market conduct further underscored the industry’s commitment to fairness and transparency. As technology continues to evolve, so too will the standards and best practices that govern our markets. Transparency in execution costs is becoming increasingly critical, and the technology platforms that can provide clear, auditable evidence of performance will be the ones that win client trust.

smartTrade: Your Partner in the New FX Landscape

FullFX London 2025 was a powerful reminder that the worlds of FX, swaps, and digital assets are not just colliding, but are actively shaping each other’s future. At smartTrade, we are excited to be at the heart of this transformation, providing the technology that enables banks and brokers to navigate this complexity with confidence. Whether it’s building the API connectivity that powers electronic swaps trading, providing the aggregation engines that access fragmented liquidity, or delivering the ultra-low latency execution that institutional clients demand, we’re focused on solving real-world problems.

The future of FX is not about choosing between the old and the new, but about intelligently integrating the best of both worlds. It’s about leveraging new technologies to create a more efficient, transparent, and accessible financial system for everyone. We look forward to continuing the conversation and working with you to build that future together.

Our week was highlighted by a wonderful VIP evening in which we hosted clients, prospects, and partners on the elegant rooftop of the El Palace Hotel. The spectacular views were matched only by the quality of the conversations, setting a collaborative tone for the days that followed.

The Panel: Cutting Through the AI Hype

A focal point of the event was the ‘AI in FX Overview’ panel, where our Director of Sales Specialists & Marketing John joined other industry experts. The discussion moved beyond abstract concepts to focus on the real-world application of AI in trading today. The key takeaways were clear:

• Assist, Not Auto-Trade: The panel emphasized that the current, most valuable role for AI is to empower traders, not replace them. Our core philosophy is to help clients navigate the Gartner Hype Cycle, avoiding the pitfalls of FOMO to find genuine, practical applications that enhance human decision-making.
• Live & Practical AI: This is no longer just a theory. We showcased how smartTrade Copilot and AI in general is already delivering tangible value for clients through just-in-time analytics summaries, coding assistance, and text-to-trade capabilities. This practical approach, supported by partnerships with leaders like AWS, is turning AI’s promise into a reality.
• The Future is Hyper-Personalized & Democratized: Looking ahead, the panel explored the next frontier: dynamically adjusted, hyper-personalized pricing. Further out, the conversation turned to how AI-assisted coding will democratize development, shifting the competitive advantage from pure technical skill to the uniqueness of the trading idea itself.

The Conversations: A Deeper Dive into Market Needs

Beyond the main stage, the most insightful discussions often happened at our booth, providing a real-time pulse of the industry’s priorities.

The Inevitable Shift to 24/7 FX Trading

The “always-on” nature of cryptocurrency has set a new expectation, and the traditional FX market is feeling the pressure to evolve into a true 24/7/365 operation. This is more than just leaving servers on; it requires a fundamental re-architecture for resilience and robust weekend risk management. Our experience supporting crypto clients in a live, 365-day environment has uniquely prepared us to guide institutions through this complex but inevitable shift.

Precious Metals: More Than Just Another Currency

Many visitors wanted to discuss the nuances of precious metals trading. The challenge is managing both electronically traded “Pair Metals” (like XAU/USD) and logistically complex “Deliverable Metals” in one system. There is a clear demand for a unified platform that can reduce operational risk by handling these disparate workflows seamlessly.

FX Options: Breaking Down the Silos

A consistent theme was the desire to break down internal silos by integrating FX Options workflows alongside existing spot, forward, and swap operations. Historically managed on separate platforms, integrating these complex instruments into a single, unified solution provides traders with a holistic view of their risk, enabling more sophisticated hedging strategies and significant operational efficiency.

Vendor Selection: Moving Beyond the Traditional POC

Conversations with banks at Tradetech repeatedly underscored a critical industry challenge: the challenge of the traditional Proof of Concept (POC) in vendor selection. Participants highlighted that this model is often slow and resource-intensive but also struggles to generate the required buy-in from internal teams. Based on our extensive experience, we shared our insights on a more effective alternative. While we always partner with clients to follow the process they need, our advice is that a series of guided, intensive workshops has been shown time after time to be the most efficient path to validating not just product suitability, but also the crucial cultural fit between our teams. This approach ultimately empowers organisations to make strategic decisions with far greater confidence.

The passion and forward-thinking on display at TradeTech EU were truly inspiring. If we didn’t get a chance to connect, we welcome the opportunity to continue the conversation.
