Rise in Electronic Trading in Japan, Backed by Multifaceted Platforms and APIs

In August, there was a growing trend of electronic trading in Japan. This surge is due to the increasing popularity of multi-dealer platforms and APIs, as reported by global analytics and insights provider Coalition Greenwich.

The FX sector in Japan has seen a noticeable shift towards electronic trading, characterized by advanced e-trading systems and increased liquidity on multi-dealer platforms. Where Japan has previously been cautious in adopting electronic trading, recent developments indicate a potential game-changer.

Seiji Ishii, formerly the Head of Japan at Coalition Greenwich, had observed that the rising popularity of multi-dealer electronic trading platforms and APIs was setting a foundation that could align Japan with global electronic execution practices.

Japanese banks’ growing acceptance of multi-dealer platforms has soared from less than half to 64. An increase in industry players expanding their operations in Japan, underlining the country’s growing importance in the electronic trading landscape, supports the trend.
