What STARprime does

STARprime is a privately held institutional CFD liquidity provider and market maker, operating under the legal entity STARTRADER Financial Markets Limited, regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, with operational headquarters in Dubai and a regulated regional entity in Ebene, Mauritius. The company aggregates deep order book liquidity from tier-one counterparties and delivers it to institutional clients—primarily brokers, and secondarily funds and fintechs—across more than 150 instruments spanning forex, metals, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. STARprime positions itself as a challenger firm in the institutional liquidity and market-making segment, emphasizing AI-driven pricing and risk management, ultra-low-latency execution, redundant infrastructure, and 24/7 client coverage delivered via a consultative, relationship-managed sales motion from Dubai.

The underlying technology stack is described as enterprise-grade trading infrastructure with AI-driven pricing intelligence and ultra-low-latency connectivity, accessed by clients through API and bridge integrations. Recent ecosystem moves include integration with the Centroid CS 360 multi-asset connectivity engine (announced 2025-11-19) and Premium Liquidity Provider status within the Your Bourse white-label broker ecosystem (announced 2025-12-10). STARprime holds a Lloyd's of London professional liability insurance certificate (dated 2025-08-13) and operates from eight global offices with 24/7 client support.

STARprime's revenue model is transaction-fee-based: it earns through spreads on its CFD liquidity services and through market-making spreads and liquidity provision fees across the supported asset classes. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per institutional client based on flow, scale, and market requirements. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on dedicated relationship managers and inbound interest through the company website and LinkedIn corporate presence, with no disclosed revenue figures, funding history, or named institutional client logos in the available source material. Leadership consists of Jay Mawji as Chief Executive Officer and Allan Maira as Head of Operations, supported by a team the company describes as carrying 30+ years of combined trading experience.
