OptimX Integrates with MarketAxess RFQ-hub to Expand Access to Bilateral Liquidity

New York – June 8, 2026

OptimX Markets, a pioneer in advanced liquidity management, has partnered with MarketAxess to integrate RFQ-hub, a bilateral multi-asset and multi-dealer RFQ platform designed for the ETF and derivatives markets, into the OptimX platform. This integration enables institutional traders to access liquidity from RFQ-hub’s network of providers directly through the OptimX front end.

Through this integration, OptimX users, comprising leading asset managers and institutional trading desks, can initiate RFQs and engage with a broad network of liquidity providers within their existing workflow. The integration also expands RFQ-hub’s reach by connecting its liquidity providers with OptimX’s growing base of institutional clients, creating a more efficient pathway for bilateral interaction and execution.

David Barnett, Founder and CEO of OptimX Markets, commented, “Integrating RFQ-hub into OptimX expands the ways our users access liquidity while maintaining the workflow efficiency and control that define our platform. This partnership allows institutional traders to engage with a broader set of liquidity providers through RFQ, directly within the OptimX environment.”

“RFQ-hub was built to streamline how institutional investors connect with liquidity providers across a wide range of instruments,” said Joyce Rosely, Head of RFQ-hub Sales at MarketAxess. “By integrating with OptimX, we are extending that capability into a new workflow, enabling users to initiate RFQs and access liquidity through a single, efficient interface.”
