About Optaxe
OptAxe Limited operates an FCA-authorised multilateral trading facility for OTC FX and precious metals options. Participants post axes (indicative interest by pair, structure, tenor, direction and size) to a chosen distribution list, screen aggregated interest, and send targeted requests for quote only to counterparties with an opposing interest. Execution takes place on the venue under its Rulebook, and access is available via FIX, a web UI, REST/WS APIs and Symphony.
The venue is aimed at institutional participants: market makers and banks, buy-side firms and hedge funds, and OMS/EMS suppliers, brokers and technology vendors that integrate with it.
OptAxe was founded in 2021 and is based in London. The FCA lists its FRN as 1002237. In 2026 FINMA recognised the venue as a foreign trading venue under Article 41 FinMIA, and a CFTC staff letter lists OptAxe Limited as an eligible UK facility. The company reports $3.2bn in monthly axe volume for September 2026.
Product: Multilateral trading facility for posting axes, screening interest and sending targeted RFQs in OTC FX and precious metals options.
