Trading Technology Provider Horizon Software said on Tuesday that it has ‎started allowing clients to trade Bitcoin and several other digital coins through its ‎newly minted gateway.‎

Discover credible partners and premium clients at China’s leading finance event!

Horizon provides a wide selection of electronic trading solutions and algorithmic ‎technology for a broad range of asset classes and instruments, including stocks, ‎futures, options, bonds, indexes and ETFs. The company’s platform can be used ‎to create strategies, scripting, views and charts; the source code is available to ‎clients for customisation.‎

Horizon’s native gateway connects the main cryptocurrency exchanges, including ‎Kraken, Bitstamp, Bitfinex and GDAX, with more exchanges to be added in the ‎weeks ahead.‎

The platform also provides robust financial tools, such as pre-trade risk ‎management and trade reporting. Users can also benefit from the Drop Copy risk ‎management service, which is designed to facilitate real-time monitoring of trading activity ‎on the CME Globex platform.‎

Sylvain Thieullent, CEO of Horizon, commented: “Our clients are now engaging ‎with Horizon for cryptocurrency trading. Although they have been ‎around for a while, the successful launch in December of BTC Futures ‎on CBOE and CME represents a strong signal of institutional ‎recognition from market participants. The cryptocurrency market ‎capitalisation will reach $1 trillion in 2018, which further shows that ‎this is a very exciting market for us.”‎
