OptimX Executes First U.S. Trades, Ushering in a New Chapter for Bilateral Equity Markets

New York – July 17, 2025

OptimX, a next-generation institutional trading technology provider, today announced the successful completion of its first live U.S. equity trades on its bilateral liquidity network. The milestone confirms a growing appetite across the industry for integrated, transparent, and broker-aligned workflows.

OptimX is designed to reconnect institutional traders with their most relevant liquidity providers—directly at the source—without disrupting existing strategies or infrastructure. OptimX empowers both brokers and clients to exchange indications, automate engagement, and manage interactions with full attribution and control.

“This is a pivotal moment for OptimX,” said David Barnett, Founder and CEO of OptimX. “Our first live trades prove that you can modernize equity trading without disrupting what works. We’re not here to replace existing channels. We’re here to reconnect the ones that matter, in a way that works for both sides of the trade.”

The OptimX network is built to scale, with fast setup, no routing risk, and no changes to existing compliance or order handling procedures. Brokers can direct flow to clients with unmatched control and transparency, while institutional investors can prioritize relationships and engage on their terms—no matter what the workflow entails.

With U.S. trading now live, OptimX is expanding coverage across key institutional counterparties and aims to establish itself as the preferred layer for bilateral equity interaction in 2025 and beyond.
