Seeing a lot of neobank stack posts lately, so I figured I’d share what an HFT OTC desk platform stack actually looks like. the kind that’ll power all the neobanks, on/off ramps, and payment processors for FX, stablecoins, and even RWAs. 👇 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Axis.

a lot of crypto cards and neobanks advertise 0 FX fees what they actually mean is that they are not *adding* any additional FX fees to the one already charged by Visa/Mastercard to date, every crypto neobank piggybacks on the FX infrastructure provided by Visa & Mastercard if a user has a USD card and spends in 🇧🇷Brazil, the merchant gets $BRL and the exchange is handled by Visa to really get 0 FX you would need to receive the so called "interbank rate" which is the rate at which banks exchange currencies between one another and what you see on online currency converters like XE the only way to get close to this and offer a more competitive rate is to build an FX engine in-house which is what players like Revolut and Wise have done but it involves complex treasury management and operations in a nutshell they hold pools of different currencies on their balance sheet and when a user swaps e.g USD to EUR it's just an internal swap in their treasury they can then settle with Visa/Mastercard directly in the merchant currency and avoid the markup for the user but to avoid the FX risk that comes with holding multiple currencies on their balance sheet they need to hedge via forward contracts and try to net flows to hold as little float as possible this is why they mostly only offer major currencies and not the more exotic ones because the cost of hedging, ops and lack of bi-directional flows makes it too costly and even on major currencies the 0 FX amount is capped to $1000/month for most users i think there's a real opportunity to move FX markets on-chain and let every neobank large or small tap into wholesale liquidity 0 FX for every user worldwide with no amount caps is how crypto neobanks become significantly better than their tradfi counterparts

Tokenization was supposed to unify capital markets. The liquidity we were promised gets diluted by the act of pursuing it. Issuance is solved. Execution is the prize.

MMs/liquidity providers might wonder why we do this. Yield is just the first step. The destination is the liquidity for stablecoins and RWAs.

Stablecoins changed conversion forever. The capital burden shifted to the conversion layer: OTC desks, liquidity providers servicing post-trade settlement. Users pay in spread. Axis fixes this at scale.
