The programmatic shift: how APIs, embedded FX and AI will redefine FX distribution

The FX market is entering a new phase of transformation. As new technologies continue to reshape institutional trading, banks are rethinking how liquidity is distributed, accessed and embedded within client workflows.

Based on research with 143 market participants, including corporate treasuries, banks and other financial institutions, this survey report brings together buy-side and sell-side perspectives to explore how FX distribution is expected to evolve over the next five years. It examines the technologies driving change, the challenges slowing adoption and the strategic priorities shaping what’s next for institutional FX.
