“We are pleased that Nexus won the ‘Best connectivity, hosting and co-location service’ category at FX Markets e-FX Awards this year,” said Eugene Markman, CEO of ION MarketFactory and COO of ION Markets (FX). “Nexus is a product suite solution, so clients connected to the Nexus by whatever means can improve their performance with all ION MarketFactory’s applications. For example, the combination of Nexus and our flagship product, Whisperer, gives clients high-speed liquidity access from different regions, without having to provision their own circuits.”
