Currently, volumes on the existing currency futures exchanges are just $0.5 billion which is 1/10th of the $50-billion volume on the over-the-counter currency forward market.The objective of this new exchange is to get different constituents of the market onto the currency platforms, and thereby increase participation. Currently, participation comes from the stock and commodity market players with many brokers, including banks, running proprietary books to increase currency volumes.
