Scope Prime Joins LMAX and GMG in MetaQuotes Ultency Adoption Wave

Scope
Prime, the institutional liquidity arm of Rostro Financial Group, integrated
MetaQuotes’ Ultency matching engine into its infrastructure, giving MT5-based
brokers faster access to its multi-asset liquidity pool.

According
to the company, the integration removes the need for third-party bridges when
connecting to Scope Prime’s network of bank, non-bank, and ECN liquidity
sources across more than 40,000 instruments.

Ultency
was introduced at
the Finance Magnates London Summit in December as MetaQuotes’ answer to independent
liquidity bridge providers that have historically controlled the infrastructure
layer between MT5 terminals and liquidity sources.

“We
have always been committed to reducing latency in our order-matching
infrastructure and supporting brokers operating MT5-based trading environments.
Ultency offers native integration within the MT5 platform, better connecting us
as liquidity provider with all our clients,” Hesham Hasanin, Group Head of
Trade Solution at Rostro, commented..

Access to Multi-Asset
Liquidity Gets Faster

Ultency
hosts execution hubs in LD4 and NY4 data centers, positioning infrastructure
closer to major financial markets. The platform supports multiple order types
and provides brokers with transparent infrastructure pricing, according to
MetaQuotes.

For Scope
Prime, the integration means institutional clients can connect without
“the need for multiple third-party vendors or complex middleware
setups,” Hasanin said.

The
company recently
expanded beyond CFD liquidity into futures and options, adding CME, Eurex, ICE, and CBOT
exchange access earlier this month.

It
also adjusted gold
spreads in January following
CME margin requirement changes driven by precious metals volatility.

Targeting Institutional
Clients Without Middleware

Hasanin
positioned the Ultency integration as targeting “fast-growing segments of
the institutional market, including startup brokers, proprietary trading firms
and other larger brokerages.”

He
described it as “a scalable, resilient foundation for future growth”
that runs alongside existing FIX API or GUI connections while offering “a
faster, more cost-efficient route” to aggregated liquidity.

Other
liquidity providers have moved quickly to adopt Ultency since its December
launch. LMAX Group
integrated the matching engine in early February, and GMG Prime
announced its own Ultency integration in January.

MetaQuotes
positioned Ultency as eliminating third-party bridge fees, though the platform
shifted to a volume-based pricing model that left some brokers questioning
whether real cost savings materialized without disclosure of previous fee
structures.

Competitive Landscape
Remains Crowded

Ultency
faces established competition in the liquidity aggregation and matching engine
space. oneZero
Hub offers its MatchMaker matching engine with algorithmic pricing modules,
particularly strong among institutional clients, providing full-scale
capabilities for brokers to operate exchange or ECN models with globally
distributed technology.

PrimeXM
XCore connects to over 120 liquidity sources with multi-tiered aggregation
and ultra-low latency execution, though it targets larger brokerages at higher
price points.

Centroid
Bridge, based in Dubai, provides multi-asset aggregation with smart order
routing for enterprise-level brokers in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia,
supporting multi-platform environments beyond MT4/MT5.

Mid-tier
brokers often opt for FXCubic, which offers multi-LP aggregation and A/B-book
routing at lower costs, while Match-Trade Technologies provides ultra-fast
matching with ECN liquidity from top-tier banks.
