Gateway Connectivity 

Colocated, cross-connected and AWS PrivateLink connectivity to Starbase gateway pairs will be activated.

Full order entry access follows on August 4.

FIX Drop Copy 

The FIX Drop Copy API is available for consolidated order and trade visibility across all gateways. This feed disseminates Execution Reports for order book activity and Trade Capture Reports everything else, such as for block trades and position moves.
