FXSpotStream was honored as the “Best G10 Trading Platform” and “Best EM Trading Platform” at the FX-Markets Asia Awards.

The awards complement what has been an impressive year of growth in terms of volume across all three locations, with an increase of 44% in terms of volume supported in Tokyo over the Service (Jan-Oct) vs the same period last year.
