Our take

The financial landscape has experienced great innovation within the last decade, providing fertile ground for progressive investment platforms. Whilst this is reflected in consumer-focused trading platforms, such innovation has not been as prevalent within the institutional investment market.

GFO-X provides a digital asset derivatives trading platform for institutional investors, focussing on innovating within the sector by guaranteeing 24/7 operating capacity, sub-100 microsecond processing times, secure colocation, and high throughput. The company also integrates bank-grade cybersecurity, simple integrations, and horizontal scaling into its infrastructure, ultimately offering a modernized derivative trading platform.

As a new name on the market, GFO-X will likely face skepticism from institutional investors, but its leadership team consists of market leaders with experience working with IBM, Morgan Stanley, and other investment giants, showing great potential to dispel any skepticism. Through its efficency-first approach to financial market investment, the company aims to provide its users with seamless trading experiences that reflect the current state of fintech innovation.
