Match-Prime has launched an expanded cryptocurrency liquidity offering aimed at CFD brokers. The new service offers higher leverage limits and increased net open position (NOP) thresholds for major digital assets.

Match-Prime Unveils Enhanced Crypto CFD Liquidity Offering for Forex Brokers

The enhanced offering includes leverage of up to 1:50 for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) with a 50 million NOP and 1:20 with a 300 million NOP. For the top 10 market cap coins, Match-Prime is offering leverage up to 1:10 with a 10 million NOP, while smaller cap coins can be traded at up to 1:5 leverage with a 3 million NOP.

“Our advanced intelligence systems enable us to manage risk effectively, allowing us to offer such attractive conditions,” Stavros Economides, Chief Operations Officer at Match-Prime, commented. “This ensures that our clients not only benefit from higher leverage but can also operate with confidence, knowing that we have robust measures in place to handle large volumes and market fluctuations.”

Match-Prime, which is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), provides liquidity for over 50 cryptocurrency pairs. The company said its new offering is designed to cater to both small and large brokers, allowing them to manage substantial trading volumes.

The move comes as demand for cryptocurrency trading continues to grow in the forex market.

While brokers typically do not disclose specific figures related to crypto CFDs, Axi reported a trading volume of $16.7 billion in crypto CFDs last March. The volumes were $7.6 billion in January and $10.4 billion in February.

At the beginning of this year, Match-Prime, together with Match-Trade Technologies, the developer of the Match-Trader platform, announced the launch of a joint office in Dubai as part of their international expansion in the MENA region.

New Developments at Match-Trade

Recently, Match-Trade has also been focusing on development in the prop trading industry. Since February, when licensing issues caused one of their main competitors, MetaQuotes, to become less popular among prop firms, Match-Trade has capitalized on this opportunity and is making strides in offering services to a growing number of trader-funded firms (TFFs).

Earlier this month, Match-Trade Technologies unveiled a significant upgrade to its Match-Trader platform, specifically designed to support the growth of prop firms. The enhancement includes the integration of TradingView charts and special pricing for challenge accounts, offering proprietary trading companies conditions to expand their operations.

Looking ahead, Match-Trade Technologies plans to release an update to their proprietary Prop CRM, which will be integrated with the Match-Trader platform to facilitate tournament management and user rankings.

However, Match-Trade is not only onboarding a number of new firms but also suspending licenses for some. This was the case with SurgeTrader in May, whose partnership termination allegedly occurred due to the company's “failure to meet the formal requirements outlined in our agreement.”
