London's FXall And Online Foreign Exchange Making It Hand Over Fist

Technology Crossover Ventures is buying a minority stake in bank-owned foreign exchange trading portal FXall for $77.5M. The size of the stake that TCV is acquiring was not disclosed, but one trade pub circulates the rumor that FXall has agreed to sell a 20% share in the company.

Also, TCV is rumored to have won out over rival General Atlantic, which last year bought a 25% stake in forex specialist firm SaxoBank for $126.5M.

FXall is rated as the number one online foreign exchange for the fourth year running. Its market share has grown to more than 50% – double that of nearest competitor.

FXall launched in 2001. In Q2 this year, total trading on the platform surpassed $2.4 trillion, up 50% from Q2 2005.
