In a market where spreads tighten and acquisition costs rise, brokers are increasingly looking for value beyond pure execution. For institutional liquidity provider X Open Hub, that value comes from combining two complementary layers: execution quality and interest earned on idle funds between trades.
X Open Hub will return to iFX EXPO Dubai, taking place February 10–12, 2026, at Booth #156 in the Dubai World Trade Centre. Alongside its multi-asset liquidity offering and order book depth, the company will focus on a newer addition to its service stack - the Interest Plan, designed to pay institutional interest on balances held in segregated hedge accounts.
Turning idle balances into an additional revenue stream
Launched in the second half of 2025, the Interest Plan enables brokers using X Open Hub’s liquidity services to earn daily accrued interest on funds held in hedge accounts. Interest accrues automatically overnight, with funds remaining available for trading at any time. Rates currently range from 1.5% to 3.7%, depending on the balance size and currency.
The premise is straightforward: while execution remains the foundation, many brokers operate in an environment where profitability cannot rely solely on volume. Interest on operational balances introduces a secondary stream that can support business performance regardless of whether markets are active or quiet.
What brokers can expect at Booth #156
At the event, X Open Hub’s team will discuss liquidity depth, infrastructure setup, and onboarding timelines, including how the Interest Plan fits into existing broker operations. Conversations at the booth will cover practical topics such as activation, rate calculation, statement visibility, eligible currencies, and how daily accrual works in real workflows.
The provider will also address stability during volatile conditions, outlining its approach to redundancy, failover, and continuous monitoring - areas that matter most for brokers operating across multiple time zones and higher-risk market environments.
UF AWARDS MEA 2026 nominations
X Open Hub has also been nominated in multiple categories at the UF AWARDS MEA 2026, held during the iFX EXPO Dubai agenda. The nominations reflect ongoing work across liquidity provision, execution quality, and broker-facing support services.
Meeting options
Brokers attending iFX EXPO Dubai can book meetings in advance via X Open Hub’s website. Walk-ins are welcome, but pre-scheduled slots allow for deeper technical discussions and tailored demos. For those not attending in person, X Open Hub can arrange remote consultations and virtual product walkthroughs.
