The FXPA is a Washington-based organization that collectively represents the shared interests of brokers and market participants in the FX industry. The multinational group, along with its growing membership composition, was initially formed with the aim of advocating the interests of the FX industry to key regulators and policymakers via education, research, and transparency.
