This new licensing agreement, effective from November 1, 2023, replaces an existing agreement that dates back to 2010. Moreover, LSEG will continue to distribute Tradeweb's data directly to its customers through various financial platforms, such as Datascope, LSEG Pricing Service, and Tick History.

These data sets distributed by both LSEG and Tradeweb encompass a wide range of financial instruments and markets. This includes Emerging Market Interest Rate Swaps, European Convertibles, Bond Benchmark Closing Prices, AiPrice data sets, Tradeweb's iNav Premium data, and MIFID non-delayed data.

Tradeweb's Strategic Expansion

Tradeweb has been steadily expanding its products and services through strategic partnerships. In May, it joined forces with Bloomberg and MarketAxess to establish a fixed-income Consolidated Tape Provider (CTP) in the European Union. This initiative aims to provide a consolidated tape that collects and publishes comprehensive data for trades in financial instruments.

Not only is the creation of a fixed-income CTP in the EU a strategic business move, but it also aligns with regulatory demands. In Europe, the EU requires that CTPs provide data for all trades within the jurisdiction, irrespective of their origin.
