LMAX Digital has this week received industry recognition for its market leadership and innovation, having been awarded “Best Crypto Trading Platform” by leading industry publication, Financial News in its Excellence in Trading & Tech Awards 2023.

Alongside this award, Financial News also recognised LMAX Digital Managing Director, Jenna Wright, as one of the Twenty Most Influential Women in Crypto 2023, who added:
“With our history in FX, we’re unique in being translators of TradFi to DeFi though our crypto currency offering. This has proven to be immensely valuable for institutions in helping to unlock capital and explore greater electronification, democratisation and efficiency in the capital markets of the future. The market dynamics have changed significantly in the past year and despite a challenging environment, we’re having very sophisticated conversations about connectivity, low-latency infrastructure and high throughput. This represents positive progression and signifies that this asset class is maturing, encouraging established institutions into the market, driving further adoption.”
Launched to exclusively offer trading to institutional market participants, LMAX Digital has become the leading institutional spot exchange for crypto currencies and today works with the largest global institutions trading crypto currencies in the US, Europe and Asia.
