*New report: The role of nonbank liquidity providers in FX markets, by Stephen Bruel, and Raman Kalra* NBLPs are a core component of the FX market where they operate via both market making and principal trading strategies. Crisil Coalition Greenwich data shows that in 2025, over 80% of spot FX is traded electronically, which is both a result of and a tailwind for NBLPs. Despite these tailwinds, our research suggests the upside for NBLPs in the FX market is limited. Regulatory pressure, different trading motivations for corporates, and lack of balance sheet usage are some factors that will influence how much further NBLPs will penetrate this market. https://lnkd.in/eduFPHjE

💡 FX Basics with Daisy: Buy/Sell vs Bid/Ask — What’s the Difference? One of the most common questions I get as an FX Dealer is: “What’s the difference between Buy/Sell and Bid/Ask?” In the forex market, these terms often mean the same thing, but from different perspectives: 🔹 Bid Price = the price at which the market (or broker) is willing to buy a currency. 🔹 Ask Price (also called Offer) = the price at which the market is willing to sell a currency. 👉 Example: If USD/KES = 129.2000 / 129.2400 129.2000 = Bid → the bank buys USD at this rate. 129.2400 = Ask → the bank sells USD at this rate. The small difference (known as the spread) is how liquidity providers and brokers make their margin. 📌 Key takeaway: Whether you hear Buy/Sell or Bid/Ask, remember it’s about who’s on which side of the trade. From the trader’s perspective, it’s Buy/Sell. From the broker’s, it’s Bid/Ask. 👉 Curious: when you first started in finance or business, which FX term confused you most? #Forex #FXDealer #FinancialEducation #Markets #Banking #Fintech
