At Paradigm, our mission is to provide traders with the best-priced liquidity solutions on demand through electronic trading innovation. That’s why we’re psyched to announce the launch of our Application Programming Interface (API). If you’re already a fan of the on-demand liquidity sourced via our Multi-Dealer RFQ workflow, you’ll love how our API takes its speed and competitiveness to the next level.


With our API, you can integrate block trading into automated trade workflows, allowing for instant liquidity for large and complex orders. These include:

  • Simple multi-leg derivative structures (such as Straddles, Strangles, Call and Put Spreads, and even future spreads)
  • More complex Delta Neutral strategies, combining Options and Futures
  • Portfolio trading of custom Futures and Options baskets

Paradigm’s API supports end-to-end automated workflows for both Takers and Makers. To simplify the Takers’ development experience, we have deployed Auto Market-Makers that will always respond with a series of quotes. There are also Auto-Taker solutions available for Makers to help speed up development.

How to Paradigm in 3 steps?

Excited already? Well, just listen to this take:

“The release of Pardigm’s API represents the final cornerstone of the foundation we believe is required to enable seamless institutional liquidity. We know automation will create new and unique opportunities for our clients that could not have existed previously and we’re excited to be on this journey with them.”
- Anand Gomes, CEO and Co-Founder of Paradigm
