Bloomberg Launches Programmatic FX Options RFQ API on FXGO

Bloomberg launched its FX Options RFQ API on FXGO on September 14, 2026. This release enables end-to-end programmatic trading for foreign exchange options. The new feature supports vanilla and exotic strategies across deliverable and non-deliverable currency markets. It connects clients to a multi-dealer liquidity pool through a single interface.

The launch responds to rising demand from systematic hedge funds and asset managers. These firms seek to extend automated execution into derivatives markets. Bloomberg reported more than 58% year-on-year growth in FX options volumes on FXGO since August 2025. Hedge fund activity on the platform increased by more than 75% during the same period.

Full Workflow Automation Enabled

Traders can now run the entire request-for-quote workflow programmatically. The process includes submitting trade requests and receiving competing dealer quotes. Deal completion occurs without manual intervention at any stage. This follows the recent release of a Python-API ticket launcher on the platform.

Liquidity Access and Market Reach

FXGO provides access to deep liquidity through real-time pricing and advanced analytics. It supports spot, outrights, swaps, NDFs, deposits, precious metals, and options. The platform integrates with over 30 algorithmic order providers. It connects to third-party order management and treasury systems for straight-through processing.

Global Electronic Markets Infrastructure

Bloomberg Electronic Markets serves leading financial institutions in over 175 markets worldwide. More than 9,000 client firms use the platform to access liquidity from over 800 dealers globally. The infrastructure supports comprehensive solutions across the trading lifecycle, including price transparency and execution automation. GN auto markets/forex: currency markets notes this development as a key step in standardizing programmatic derivatives trading.
