STARPRIME, an institutional CFD liquidity provider and market maker based in Port Louis, Mauritius, has completed beta testing of a new market-making model designed for retail brokers.
The company worked with a select group of clients during the trial phase, which concluded with positive feedback on execution performance. According to STARPRIME, the model addresses inefficiencies in externalising non-risk flow, a common challenge for larger retail brokers facing the "Non-Risk Revenue dilemma."
Beta results indicated improvements across key metrics, including faster price updates, tighter spreads—particularly during volatile conditions—and higher order-fill efficiency for larger order sizes. The model also reduced market impact compared with traditional straight-through processing solutions, STARPRIME said.
Jay Mawji, CEO of STARPRIME, framed the innovation within the broader industry trend of shrinking margins. "As much as we may want to deny it, the pace of the Race to Zero is gathering each day," Mawji said. "By deploying our market-maker solution and applying consistent pricing across the flow we accept, we are able to offer our clients execution at costs closer to their retail model than a traditional LP relationship allows."
He added that the model promotes a "healthy industry" by enabling tighter pricing and stronger competition while addressing the Race to Zero phenomenon in a responsible manner.
STARPRIME operates a pricing section on its website detailing its spread offerings, accessible via its official domain.
