One Trading Announces Strategic Investment from Nasdaq Ventures
One Trading, a European regulated derivatives trading venue, has announced an investment from Nasdaq Ventures. The investment shows Nasdaq Ventures’ stress on technologies that can support the modernisation of global capital markets. It also creates a foundation for Nasdaq and One Trading to explore future collaboration opportunities.
24/7 Trading
Nasdaq and One Trading will probe ways to fuse their market infrastructure expertise, global reach, and derivatives technologies. The companies will look at opportunities to support market innovation and enable 24/7 equity futures trading. One Trading has developed next-generation technology to support continually operating markets. Its unified trading, risk, and settlement platform uses deterministic technology and supports cross-collateral netting, continuous settlement and auto-liquidations at scale.
The platform can reduce locked margin and remove the need for a mutualised default fund. It also fuses features related to digital asset markets, such as 24/7 trading and auto-liquidations, with the protections and transparency of a regulated European trading venue.
New Opportunities
The investment will let Nasdaq and One Trading explore new approaches to derivatives market infrastructure. One Trading CEO Joshua Barraclough said the two companies share the view that markets need to evolve to better meet clients’ liquidity and capital needs. He stressed technology, risk management, and market infrastructure as key areas that could make derivatives markets more efficient, responsive, and resilient.
The companies will consider ways to modernise derivatives infrastructure and expand the products available to market participants. It includes exploring opportunities around long-dated futures.
Combining Capabilities
The collaboration will unite Nasdaq’s experience in advanced market infrastructure, global distribution, and client relationships with One Trading’s cloud-deployed low-latency trading and risk engine. Also, One Trading brings its regulatory position in the EU to the collaboration.
Gary Offner, Global Head of Nasdaq Ventures, said Nasdaq Ventures looks for technologies that can expand liquidity and transparency and address the needs of market participants. He stressed One Trading’s approach to integrating trading, risk management and settlement as a key differentiator. Also, he said the company could play an important role in the evolution of derivatives markets.
