iSAM Securities Apex has integrated with Crossover Markets, connecting brokers to CROSSx, its institutional digital asset ECN, through Apex’s ultra-low-latency technology stack.
Built for institutional digital asset trading, CROSSx combines low-latency execution, with matching times sub 10 microsecond order-to-ack, and tailored liquidity pools. Its execution-only model structurally separates credit, custody and liquidity, giving participants flexibility in how they manage their liquidity and counterparty relationships.
Through this integration, Apex users can access liquidity on CROSSx alongside the platform’s existing LP network, giving brokers greater choice and control over how they source and manage digital asset liquidity.
Digital Asset Liquidity for CFD Brokers
Apex now allows brokers to shape how deep digital asset order books are used to price their clients. They can combine selected ranges of a venue’s order book into price levels using VWAP or worst-in-range pricing, then adjust that configuration in real time.
This gives brokers more control over how institutional liquidity is translated into prices for their CFD offering.
Low-Latency Infrastructure
Built on the same engineering principles that support iSAM Securities’ own market-making business, Apex combines optimised network design, dedicated physical infrastructure, CPU pinning and low-latency system architecture to deliver fast, consistent pricing from its connected liquidity providers.
Dennis Weissert, Chief Commercial Officer, iSAM Securities Apex, commented:
“Brokers need access to crypto liquidity without having to build separate infrastructure around it. By connecting Apex to CROSSx, we’re combining institutional liquidity with the aggregation and pricing tools CFD brokers need to tailor the CROSSx order books to their clients.”
Anthony Mazzarese, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Crossover Markets, commented: “More and more FX and CFD brokers are rightly hedging their crypto CFD flow in the underlying spot market,” said Anthony Mazzarese, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Crossover Markets. “CROSSx’s ultra-low-latency market data gives brokers reliable price discovery: an accurate mid-price that is difficult to arbitrage and free from LP skews that come with the non-fungible nature of CFDs. Hedging in the spot market also lets brokers reduce execution costs and net down positions before settlement. We’re excited to work with APEX to distribute our pricing through its low-latency architecture and tools built specifically for retail brokers.”
Apex will extend the reach of CROSSx by providing some of the world’s largest CFD brokers with seamless connectivity to the ECN, without requiring any additional technical work on their part. Brokers will retain the highly configurable execution settings and pricing aggregation tools they are used to within Apex, while gaining an additional institutional option for sourcing digital asset liquidity.
Supporting Broker Performance
The integration expands the digital asset liquidity available through Apex and supports Apex’s wider goal: to help brokers protect P&L, manage risk and deliver reliable execution to their clients.
It follows recent improvements to Radar’s Network Alerts, which now visualises offsetting positions held by linked accounts across brokers within the Radar network.
The Crossover Markets integration is now available to brokers using iSAM Securities Apex.
