Apifiny, a global cross-exchange digital asset trading network, has launched Apifiny Algo, an advanced performance crypto trading library in C++ for High Frequency Trading (HFT) and latency sensitive traders.

The trading library is being rolled out with global cryptocurrency exchange Okcoin as Apifiny’s flagship partner, with Okcoin clients receiving free subscriptions to the high performance quant trading modules Apifiny Algo offers. 

According to the Global Crypto Hedge Fund Report 2021, 21% of traditional hedge fund managers also actively invest in digital assets, using quantitative and algorithmic investment strategies for trading cryptocurrencies. Apifiny Algo offers modules for direct market data access, order management and a strategy framework for trading algo implementation, reducing significant coding effort. It also addresses several pain points faced by quant traders, including coding effort, performance of existing libraries (Python vs C++), research capabilities and trading strategies implementation. Apifiny Algo offers the highest speed on market data processing and order placing. Its strategy framework is new in the market which allows traders to implement trading strategies with Apifiny and 3rd party strategy components.
