Problem
Traders and brokers must monitor multiple fragmented liquidity sources—voice shout‑downs, instant messages, and electronic feeds—across disparate platforms, making it difficult to obtain a complete, real‑time view of market pricing and to act quickly.
Solution
Sphere’s Liquidity Lake aggregates all voice, instant‑messaging, and electronic liquidity streams into a single, AI‑enhanced interface. The platform translates broker voice calls and chat messages into structured, real‑time data, presenting prices and market depth on one screen. Patented analytics provide quantitative insights that highlight actionable signals and filter out noise. Users can post and execute bids or offers via voice or electronic channels without switching applications, improving speed and control. The system also supports collaborative view sharing across trading teams, enabling coordinated decision‑making.
Target Audience
