cBridge, Spotware’s standalone liquidity bridge, has partnered with Tapaas, a real-time risk intelligence platform for FX and CFD brokers. The partnership connects cBridge trading and execution data with live analytics covering exposure, execution quality, client behaviour and profitability.
The partnership brings together two innovative technologies built to solve the operational pain points of modern brokers. cBridge delivers real-time price aggregation and flexible order routing across connected trading platforms and liquidity providers. Its modular architecture lets brokers scale trading volumes and maintain individual components without interrupting live trading.
Tapaas analyses risk for dozens of brokers, covering tens of trillions in trading flow in real time. According to Tapaas, a trade can be received, processed and presented on its platform in under 10 milliseconds.
Beyond the technology, cBridge and Tapaas share a common view on pricing: brokers shouldn't be penalised for growing. Neither model is tied directly to trading volume. cBridge prices the infrastructure required to run the bridge, while Tapaas prices according to the number of integrations. That matters for larger brokers dealing with significant month-to-month volume swings, and equally for newer brokers who need to keep budget free for growth, client acquisition and building out operations.
As Jonathan Squires, CEO of Tapaas, put it: "If you're penalising one of your clients for growth, your incentives are not aligned."
For brokers, the integration connects cBridge trading and execution data with Tapaas’ real-time analytics. Exposure, open positions and PnL are visible in real time – so brokers can react faster to market movements and reduce risk events. Execution quality, flow behaviour and LP performance help trading departments make better liquidity and routing decisions. At the same time, profitability data by client, instrument and book helps brokers understand what generates or erodes revenue.
The partnership benefits both scaling brokers and newer market entrants. Established brokers get the combination of Tapaas' real-time risk intelligence and Spotware’s deep in-house expertise behind cBridge, helping their teams work through complex trading activity and catch operational issues early. Newer brokers, in turn, can start with proven technology that helps them avoid overcomplicating their infrastructure.
Jonathan Squires, CEO of Tapaas, commented: “When it comes to cBridge, they have a distinct advantage over other bridges. They have a long, successful history in trading platforms. They know brokers back to front, and they know their pains, their problem areas and their bottlenecks. The product has been built by people who understand those pain points and know how the system is used in practice.”
Alexis Droussiotis, co-General Manager at cBridge, added: “cBridge provides the execution and connectivity layer, while Tapaas adds the real-time intelligence brokers need to understand the risk, performance and profitability behind that flow. Together, the integration gives dealing and risk teams clearer visibility to make faster, better-informed decisions as markets move.”
With Tapaas’ real-time risk analytics and cBridge’s modern bridge technology, brokers gain a stronger foundation to manage growth, stay on top of operations and keep their execution infrastructure under control.
A bridge shows where a trade goes. Risk intelligence shows what happens next.
