Waters Rankings 2021: Best low-latency datafeed provider: ION Markets
Product: MarketFactory Whisperer
“We believe our Whisperer product is a winner as it continues to perform well for our clients, especially in volatile markets. This is testament to ION Group’s commitment to innovation and ongoing efforts to deliver solutions that keep pace with a rapidly changing environment and help businesses grow.”
Eugene Markman, CEO, ION MarketFactory
WHY THEY WON
Voters were likely drawn to ION’s scale and the platform’s improved latency, as well as its array of offerings in the worlds of fixed income and foreign exchange (FX).
WHAT’S NEW
The business expanded geographically into Singapore’s Equinix SG1 datacenter.
ION’s product helped several global banks go-live in the Singapore datacenter, allowing them to consume and provide liquidity to the local foreign exchange (FX) market
Whisperer helped global FX firms establish a Singapore footprint and connect to local markets.
WHAT’S TO COME
Over the next 12 months, MarketFactory’s Whisperer will support the sell-side LP’s algo offerings, providing clients full access to LP’s API functionality to help clients’ trading strategies and execution requirements.
Strategies will also be deployed to grow and expand the business, including further development of in-house teams.
