Edgewater Markets, a non-bank gold liquidity provider, has integrated with financial technology company Gold-i, connecting its trading infrastructure with Gold-i’s MatrixNET liquidity management platform, the companies announced today (Thursday).
Edgewater Markets Integrates with Gold-i’s MatrixNET Platform
The integration allows Gold-i clients to access Edgewater’s precious metals, foreign exchange (FX), and non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) liquidity, while providing Edgewater’s clients with Gold-i’s liquidity management capabilities.
“Our integration with Gold-i enables us to combine our unrivalled regional credit facilities and trading solutions with Gold-i’s powerful liquidity management and distribution platform,” said Emanuel Georgouras, the UK CEO of Edgewater. “It brings together two market leading technology providers, leveraging both our strengths to enhance our clients’ trading environments.”
Gold-i’s MatrixNET platform offers various routing and aggregation methods that allow users to customize execution models based on client preferences. The system is designed to help institutional clients access liquidity pools, achieve better pricing, expand their client base, and reduce toxic trading.
“Edgewater is a fantastic addition to our MatrixNET, giving even greater choice to our clients,” said Tom Higgins, Gold-i CEO. “Our integration with Edgewater provides our clients with access to high quality precious metals and FX liquidity with tight spreads. It enables Edgewater’s clients to management their liquidity with ease and access a wide range of advanced liquidity management features.”
Gold-i Targets Crypto
Last year, Gold-i made several moves in the cryptocurrency space, forming a partnership with Cypator and expanding its digital asset liquidity offering for FX/CFD brokers.
At the same time, the company struck a separate deal with the crypto exchange Bullish, which recorded an average daily trading volume of $1.6 billion in 2024.
In an interview with Finance Magnates, Higgins acknowledged that “Crypto liquidity and FX liquidity are sort of coming together,” highlighting Gold-i’s growing interest in Bitcoin and similar digital assets.
“When you’ve got a traditional retail FX broker, and they want to access crypto liquidity, how do they make that happen? It’s different liquidity providers; it’s different ways of accessing it. The technology is similar, but you need different angles on it.”
Edgewater Markets has operated its prime brokerage business since 2006 and launched an institutional-only margin business in 2023 under Georgouras’ leadership. Gold-i, headquartered in the UK with global operations, provides technology solutions for brokers, funds, liquidity providers, and exchanges in both the FX and digital asset sectors.
