OVERVIEW
FMX UST is a fully electronic US government securities (“USTs”) trading venue owned and operated by BGC Financial, L.P.

Subscribers to the platform are expected to be banks, broker-dealers, professional trading firms (“PTFs”) and institutional investors.
The CLOB competes with well-entrenched incumbents in a marketplace designed for low-latency hedgers and arbitrageurs.
We designed FMX UST to be one of the fastest, most stable, and most reliable ultra-low latency matching engines in the cash UST marketplace. All forms of electronic connectivity are supported, including: binary protocol, FIX protocol and high-speed internet access with secured VPN.
