The solution is designed to provide market participants with the capability to analyze relative value in real-time and identify arbitrage opportunities between the over-the-counter (OTC) and exchange-based futures markets.
RapidRV is built on The Beast Apps platform, which is a tool specifically designed to deliver high-speed market data and has a real-time operating analytics engine.
Clients will be able to view live quotes of futures prices on the CME Group in tandem with OTC derivatives and US Treasury securities pricing data from ICAP Information Services’ GovPX and SwapPX products.
