Who Uses LiquidityFinder?

We thought it would be of interest to the members of LiquidityFinder to let our users know what company they keep, and the analysis of our user base has revealed some interesting insights into the community we've built together.

Breakdown of LiquidityFinder members by role as  of November 2024

Looking at the numbers, institutional FX trading and sales professionals make up our largest group at around 15% of users. They're joined by a substantial contingent of technology providers (14%) and asset managers (12%) - reflecting how the modern trading landscape really works, with market participants, infrastructure providers, and investment professionals all playing crucial roles.

TradFi v DeFi/Crypto members - as of November 2024

What's particularly noteworthy is the growing middle ground - professionals who operate across both spaces. Many of our technology providers and institutional brokers now offer both traditional and digital asset services, while asset managers are increasingly incorporating digital assets into their portfolios. Even traditional banks on our platform are showing growing interest in digital asset custody and trading infrastructure.

This convergence suggests that the traditional distinction between TradFi and DeFi might be becoming less relevant. Instead, we're seeing the emergence of a more integrated financial ecosystem where traditional market expertise combines with digital innovation. It's not about old versus new anymore - it's about how these approaches can complement each other to create more efficient, accessible markets.

What's particularly interesting is seeing how different segments of the financial world coexist on our platform. While traditional FX traders remain at our core, the significant presence of algo traders (9%) and crypto traders (7%) shows how the industry is evolving. Add in the technology providers, and you can see how LiquidityFinder mirrors the increasing digitalization of financial markets.

Geographical spread of LiquidityFinder's users as of November 2024

North America follows at 16%, with growing participation from the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America completing the picture.

These numbers tell a clear story: LiquidityFinder has developed into a meeting point for finance professionals across both traditional and emerging market segments. Whether you're in institutional FX, technology, asset management, or one of the many other sectors represented here, you're part of a diverse community that's helping shape the future of trading and liquidity.
