FC Stone is also Currenex's white label. Now FC Stone seems to be making its steps into the retail forex market by offering its liquidity natively through ActForex's platform which is used by many retail brokers. This would make it much easier for them to tap into FC Stone's liquidity - rather than going to them directly and working on the integration. This is the issue that concerns many mid size brokers now - the bigger you get the more deals and traders you need to hedge out and thus the quest for finding and integrating the right liquidity sources begins.

Having it all already plugged in into your platform makes setting a brokerage up more effective.
