Electronic Trading Surges in Japan, Fueled by Multi-Dealer Platforms and APIs
Finance Magnates reported in August that electronic trading is on the rise in Japan, with growing adoption driven by the increasing popularity of multi-dealer platforms and application programming interfaces (APIs), according to research by global analytics and insights provider Coalition Greenwich.
Japan's FX sector has experienced a significant shift towards electronic trading, marked by sophisticated e-trading systems and a surge in liquidity on multi-dealer platforms. While Japan has traditionally been somewhat measured in its adoption of electronic trading, recent developments suggest a potential shift in the horizon.
Seiji Ishii, the Head of Japan at Coalition Greenwich, noted: "The growing popularity of multi-dealer electronic trading platforms and APIs is providing a foundation that could bring Japan more in line with global trading practices favoring electronic execution."
Japanese banks are increasingly embracing multi-dealer platforms, with a notable surge from less than half to 64. This trend is complemented by industry players expanding their operations in Japan, highlighting the country's growing significance in the electronic trading landscape.
