Bloomberg has launched its FX Options RFQ API on FXGO, enabling full programmatic execution in foreign exchange options trading for the first time. The new offering allows buy-side traders to run the entire request-for-quote workflow programmatically, from submission through deal completion, without manual intervention. The API covers vanilla and exotic FX options strategies across deliverable and non-deliverable currency markets, connecting clients to multiple liquidity providers through a single interface.

The company recorded over 58% year-on-year growth in FX options volumes on FXGO since August 2025, with hedge fund activity rising more than 75%.
