Integral, a prominent technology provider in the foreign exchange ( forex ) market, published its trading metrics for January 2022, showcasing an average daily volume (ADV) of $48.7 billion. This is the total figure generated across all of Integrals platforms.
The demand on Integrals platforms increased last month as the ADV went up 9.2 percent month-over-month and 6.3 percent year-over-year.
The recovery came after the company witnessed a dull December when the trading activities declined due to the holiday season.
“The growth in volumes traded across Integrals clients is testament to high-quality technology infrastructure that market participants are seeking out when conducting business in the foreign exchange, precious metals and CFD markets,” Integral stated in the official announcement.
A Major Technology Provider
Established in 1993, Integral is one of the leading financial technology providers in the trading industry. It offers cloud-based SaaS FX workflow solutions and targets a broad range of buy-side FX market participants, including banks, brokers, asset managers and hedge funds.
It operates globally with brands like TrueFX, the spot trading venue offered by the company, and Integral OCX, ECN services for institutions. The ADV was calculated aggregating the entire liquidity network of the company, including TrueFX and Integral OCX.
Now, Integral is focused on enhancing its services with industry partnerships. CMC Markets Connect, the institutional division of global broker CMC Markets, recently inked a distribution agreement with Integral to make its products available to Integral's clients.
Meanwhile, the trading demand of the overall forex industry increased in January after the December lull as both institutional and retail platforms reported a recovery in their numbers.
