Citi FX (Velocity) vs. Evaluate Citi FX against single prime brokers and multi-PoP setups for liquidity access and pricing efficiency.
Citi FX operates under Citigroup's established framework, providing access to multiple FX venues. It serves a wide range of institutional clients but does not cater to retail. Self-measured claims regarding market share and revenue rank should be approached with caution due to lack of independent verification.
