CEO and co-founder, Alan Schwarz said, “2021 was a tremendous year for the company as we also celebrated our ten-year anniversary. During these still challenging times with the global pandemic, our accomplishments would not have been possible without the support of our loyal clients and LPs as well as a dedicated global team at FXSpotStream.
While we always reflect on our past success, our focus continues to be on the future. We are always looking for ways to improve the Service. Last year we added support for Algos and Allocations, as well as announcing major upgrades to our infrastructure with the upcoming deployment of our low-latency architecture. We are tremendously excited for the many initiatives we are progressing this year and the enhanced services we are delivering to our LPs and clients. We expect another successful year for FXSpotStream in 2022 with growth in all aspects of the business.”
