I am excited to see how Trading Technologies will continue to grow and evolve.”

Trading Technologies was one of the first FinTech companies for the professional trading industry to bring digital currency market to the institutional level by launching a cryptocurrency version of its high-performance trading platform.
The new platform allows both spot and derivative markets trading side by side, with access to a market-leading suite of charting and automated trading tools as well as market data. The professional platform costs customers $400 a month.
TT users are some of the largest futures and commodity traders in the world. TT’s distribution partners include 19 of the top 20 futures commission merchants and its connectivity stretches to nearly 45 markets, including the futures markets of the CME Group, Deutsche Boerse, Intercontinental Exchange, and Nasdaq. In September, the firm signed with Singapore-based Straits Financial.
