What is this?

Getting a bilateral hedge done usually means calling a dealer, waiting for a quote, comparing a few sheets, and hoping the counterparty still has appetite by the time you reply. Capacity Cloud removes that friction. A panel of ECP-verified capital providers — banks, insurers, CTAs, family offices — pre-register their standing appetite. When you have a hedge need, a routing optimizer scores and matches you instantly to the highest-quality available provider. Terms go bilateral. No broadcast RFQ. No auction. No central counterparty.

How it works

1

You submit a hedge need

Specify the instrument type, notional, tenor, and risk objective. This can come from your AI agent automatically (via A2A discovery) or from you directly in the cockpit.

2

The routing optimizer matches you to the best provider

The optimizer scores the registered panel on decorrelation, available appetite, execution reliability, and ECP status — and routes a bilateral IOI to the highest-scoring provider with sufficient capacity.

3

Terms go bilateral

The provider receives a bilateral IOI — not a broadcast. You negotiate one-to-one. No other participant sees the flow. Settlement follows the standard bilateral OTC path under §2(h)(7).

Rate, credit, and FX capacity from regional and national banks

Key facts

Bilateral only (§2(h)(7))

Every placement is one institution to one provider. No order book, no central matching, no SEF trigger.

No Tomorrow leg (N8)

Tomorrow never takes the other side. Disinterested operator — always.

ECP-verified panel

Providers are required to pass ECP certification before registration. Certs refresh every 2 years.

Dynamic appetite

Providers set their own appetite controls in real time. The router only routes to providers with available capacity.

FAQ

Does Capacity Cloud create an order book?

No. There is no order book, no public price feed, no many-to-many price formation. Every placement is bilateral between you and one provider — §2(h)(7) ECP exemption applies. Tomorrow never takes a leg and never acts as counterparty (N8 disinterested operator rule).

How does the routing optimizer pick a provider?

The optimizer scores providers on decorrelation (do they reduce your concentration risk?), available appetite, historical execution reliability, and ECP certification freshness. The highest-scoring available provider with sufficient capacity gets the bilateral IOI. You can also specify exclusions or preferences.

What if no provider has enough appetite?

The router returns the best partial match and flags the shortfall. You can choose to accept the partial placement, wait for capacity to refresh, or route the residual to the PTRRS Risk Fabric for multilateral fractionalization across the panel.
