FeatureMar 2026
Route management API
New REST endpoints for brokers to create, update, suspend, and reinstate client routes. Configure execution mode (DMA/RFQ), spread (bps), commission rates, and venue visibility per route. Changes take effect immediately via the sequencer.
076
Account & OpsMar 2026
Broker self-service onboarding
Brokers can now onboard clients end-to-end through the platform: invite clients via email, accept invites, create trading accounts with automatic beneficiary access, configure routes with spreads and commissions, and connect to venue trading sessions — all via the API without platform operator intervention.
075
ConnectivityMar 2026
FIX 4.4 liquidity gateway
FIX protocol connectivity for institutional liquidity management platforms. Extends Virtex's venue connectivity to the broader FIX ecosystem.

Async projection writer
Database writes decoupled from the event stream reader. DB latency never blocks event processing.
062
Risk & ComplianceFeb 2026
