The CEO of FXCM Group, Brendan Callan observed:
Throughout the month of February FXCM saw many of its top traded CFD products have the highest combined at price and positive slippage stats since we started reporting this data publicly. Quality of execution is something we continue to focus on. We want to offer our clients competitive pricing and whereas the trades are actually being executed on those prices if not at a better price. We also further expanded our crypto CFD offering adding Litecoin. FXCM’s execution on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin is something we are proud to showcase.
FXCM Group has recently expanded its cryptocurrency offering by adding its second crypto CFD, Ethereum (ETH/USD).
