B2CONNECT Update: Advanced Derivatives Data, Interest on Idle Cash, and More Connector Control

Upgrade your derivatives infrastructure with the latest B2CONNECT release! This update streamlines how you receive perpetual futures data and adds support for interest on idle cash, encouraging traders to maintain higher account balances. You also gain precise control over liquidity routing and connector security directly from your dashboard.

Here is what you get in this release:

• Deliver FundingRate, MarkPrice, and FundingInterval through FIX market data.
• Pay interest on idle cash and unused margin with tiered rate profiles in AMS.
• Manage maker credentials directly inside each Incoming Connector.
• Set and review the active target maker from one screen.

This update makes B2CONNECT a more versatile engine for both high-performance trading and client retention.

Streamlined Perpetuals Data over FIX

Price perpetuals the way traders expect from day one. B2CONNECT now embeds FundingRate, MarkPrice, and FundingInterval directly into the FIX market data feed. 

Your platform receives these metrics right next to the quotes and order book data your platform already reads. This means B2TRADER and other FIX-compatible systems can display mark and funding information without additional integration layers or side streams.

For your brokerage, this speeds up a perps launch plan and keeps integrations straightforward across FIX venues.

Drive Retention with Interest on Idle Cash

Turn your platform into an attractive destination for larger end-user deposits. The Asset Management System (AMS) now lets you configure interest rates for idle cash and unused margin. You can add tiered rates to shape incentives that match different client segments and balance levels.

Set per-asset rates in a profile and choose the daily posting time in UTC. B2CONNECT then automatically calculates accruals every twenty-four hours as a separate Interest transaction on each client account.

Give your traders a strong financial reason to keep their capital on your exchange. You create a distinct competitive advantage by rewarding users for their account balances.

Incoming Connectors: Simplified Maker Credentials Management

Manage trading and quoting credentials right where you configure your connectivity. The Incoming Connectors interface now supports the direct addition and revocation of Maker API keys.

Administrators can validate credentials instantly against the exchange. You see immediate feedback on connection status before enabling live trading to prevent operational mishaps.

Keep your access control organized in one secure location. Your team saves time by avoiding the need to switch between different settings menus to maintain liquidity links.

Incoming Connectors: Precise Target Maker Control

In the latest release, B2CONNECT also introduces a Target Maker control to the Incoming Connectors page, improving visibility and control over routing configuration. This reduces the risk of routing errors by clearly showing the active execution path.
