Sfox

sFOX is a unified crypto prime brokerage and infrastructure platform for professional and institutional investors — asset managers, hedge funds, family offices, and financial institutions. It aggregates liquidity from 30+ providers across 80+ markets for smart-routed best execution, and combines that with bankruptcy-remote custody (sFOX SAFE, via SAFE Trust Company), staking, credit, and post-trade settlement in one platform. sFOX exposes a REST API, a WebSocket streaming API, and a FIX API for trading, account management, RFQ, transfers, custody, staking, market data, and reporting; a separate white-label "Connect" API covers end-user onboarding, KYC/KYB, bank linking (Plaid/Dwolla), payments, withdrawals, and SSO for businesses building crypto products.

Sfox publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: REST API and WebSocket API. Tagged areas include Company, Cryptocurrency, Prime Brokerage, Trading, and Digital Asset Custody.

The Sfox catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Sfox’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
