360T (Deutsche Börse FX venue) vs. Evaluate 360T against other multi-bank FX platforms and direct venue memberships.
As a part of the Deutsche Börse Group, 360T provides a robust FX trading venue with a global reach. It serves a diverse client base, including over 3,000 buy-side customers and 200 liquidity providers. However, the firm’s self-measured customer counts and the lack of published licensing details may warrant further scrutiny.
