State Street is now live globally and pricing to our clients out of our sites in New York, London and Tokyo.”
Mr. Schwarz also remarked on the record-breaking volume levels registered by the company in January. As previously reported by Finance Magnates, FXSpotStream’s ADV during January reached an all-time high at $26.3 billion, reaching a total volume of $579 billion.
