CROSSx provides extensive liquidity customization, enabling clients to create custom liquidity pools to trade with their preferred counterparties based on desired trade size, spread, and tilt protection. Catering to client needs, CROSSx supports anonymous, public, and semi-public transactions through one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many connections.
