ABOUT XTRD

As of January 2018, there are over 120 standalone cryptocurrency exchanges, facilitating trading in more than 1000 individual markets. Daily trading volume for cryptocurrencies is now equivalent to 20 billion USD, with a total market cap of over $700 billion. The majority of the trading is concentrated among the top 20 exchanges, denominated in multiple currencies ranging from crypto ones including Bitcoin and Ethereum to sovereign ones such as USD, GBP, JPY, CNY, and KRW, among others. Predictions point to growth toward a $1–2 trillion market capitalization in 2018, and a corresponding 3% average daily trading volume of $50 billion or more. Asset managers are beginning to see increased demand for cryptocurrency exposure in their portfolios, over 500 active funds are being created to enter the market in 2018, and the regulatory climate is warming. However, the market is nascent, and large spreads are common between exchanges on the same crypto pairs, allowing for ample arbitrage opportunities that don’t exist in more efficient markets. The inefficiency is a product of cryptocurrency trading markets being highly fractured in terms of execution, account setup, automated access, liquidity, execution speed, pricing, and security. XTRD was created by finance and trading professionals to solve those problems by both improving on and consolidating current trading practices.
WHAT PROBLEM IS XTRADE (XTRD) SOLVING?
The following problems are associated with cryptocurrency trading:
A complex web of exchanges
A combination of differing KYC policies associated with APIs, funding, and interfaces will result in a fragmented patchwork of liquidity for the cryptocurrency. Major concerns for traditional cryptocurrency market participants range from liquidity and hacking prevention to unmitigated slippage and counterparty risks.
HIGH FEES
The exchange commissions associated with trading of cryptocurrencies typically are in 0.1%-0.25% range per transaction, which are 10 to 25 basis points. The effective fees of transactions are much higher when taken into spreads and bids maintained by the exchanges.
There is generally no central regulator or authority for examining internal exchange orders that systematically separates customer activity from proprietary activity, which can ensure fair pricing.
THIN LIQUIDITY
If not managed correctly and executed only on the exchange, a single order to purchase USD1,000,000 worth of cryptocurrency can cost an additional USD50,000-USD100,000 per transaction to the investors due to the lack of liquidity.
XTRADE offers the following solutions:
Three separate products in sequential stages will be launched by XTRADE to solve the problem of low per market liquidity, decentralized execution in cryptocurrency space, and unfamiliar interfaces.
Stage 1. Implementation of the Multi Exchange Fix API
Xtrade will launch a universal low latency Financial Information eXchange (FIX) based API that will be connected to all cryptocurrency exchanges to make it easy for major algorithm traders, major institutions, and hedge funds to access all cryptocurrency markets by coding to just one FIX application.
Stage 2. Launching the XTRADE pro-trading platform
A highly robust, multi-exchange stand-alone trading platform will be launched by Xtrade in 2018 for active cryptocurrency traders around the world.
Stage 3. SPA (Single Point of Access) cross-exchange/liquidity aggregation

This platform will create a single unified point of access during stage 3 of development. It will aggregate liquidity across exchanges for cryptocurrency traders. In addition, it will allow traders to clear at the best possible price while systematically delivering the lowest possible transaction cost. It will also deliver atomic swap capability all within just one client-side account.
