LONDON, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LIST, an ION company, today announces that it has successfully completed the certification process to connect its FastTrade electronic trading system to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE). This follows the successful migration of LIST’s Borsa Italiana clients onto Euronext’s Optiq technology earlier this year.
Designed as a low-latency, multi-asset electronic trading system, LIST’s FastTrade modular solution is fully customizable and offers advanced trading functionalities. Its normalized connectivity architecture allows for the seamless integration of LuxSE, which uses Euronext’s Optiq technology.
By activating a new certified adapter in FastTrade, LIST will enable its clients to seamlessly access all products listed on LuxSE across all asset classes. All existing functionalities – including trading, execution and liquidity provision – are automatically made available to clients willing to access LuxSE. As a result, all clients deploying FastTrade will immediately benefit from an expanded connectivity base, with the opportunity to efficiently grow their trading capability.
“Following the successful migration of our clients to the Optiq trading platform earlier this year, we are delighted to share FastTrade’s newly certified connectivity to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange,” said Enrico Melchioni, Product Owner for FastTrade, LIST. “This latest initiative reflects our commitment to swift adaptation in line with the market’s evolution and our clients’ needs and consolidates our position as a key provider of cross-asset, multi-market trading technology and connectivity.”
“We are delighted to join forces with LIST and have its FastTrade system connected to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. This marks an important step in bringing increased visibility to the wide range of securities available for trading at the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and facilitate the onboarding of new trading members. We look forward to reinforcing our work and collaboration with LIST in the future,” said Guy Weymeschkirch, Head of Markets & Surveillance at LuxSE.
