# OptAxe

> OptAxe is an FCA-authorised multilateral trading facility (MTF) for OTC FX options. It lets institutional participants post, screen and trade axes directly with their bilateral counterparties, on a regulated venue built for discreet liquidity and minimal market impact.

OptAxe Limited operates a regulated venue for over-the-counter FX option trading. Participants consolidate, distribute and post axes, request quotes from chosen bilateral counterparties, curate hosted liquidity pools, and execute away from lit venues, while the facility provides the transparency, surveillance and trade reporting standards of a multilateral trading facility. OptAxe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 1002237). The company is registered in England and Wales (company number 13361894) and based in London. It was founded by Chris Jackson (CEO) and Yorke O'Leary (COO).
