Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for matching virtual currency exchange requests. The method comprises the step of creating a virtual currency exchange network comprised of a set of nodes and a set of edges connecting the nodes together. Each of the nodes represents a virtual currency type, each of the edges represents a virtual currency exchange request, and one of the edges represents a current virtual currency exchange request. A plurality of paths are identified in the network as potentially fulfilling the current virtual currency exchange request. Each of these paths is comprised of at least two edges of the network, and each of the paths represents one way to fulfill the current virtual currency exchange request. One of those paths is selected, using a defined set of criteria, as an optimal path for fulfilling said current virtual currency exchange request.
