Initially, the partnership will focus on Spectrum's reference data, possibly incorporating additional data streams.
After Italy's launch, Spectrum wants to roll out the service in other countries.
Spectrum
Markets, the pan-European trading venue for securitized derivatives, has
announced a strategic collaboration with ICE Data Services Italy, an Intercontinental
Exchange, Inc. subsidiary.
The
collaboration between Spectrum Markets and ICE Data Services Italy seeks to
deliver Spectrum's data to ICE Data Services Italy's clientele, along with
financial news and information websites. This development represents a
substantial step forward in Spectrum's ongoing endeavors to refine its
plug-and-play exchange infrastructure.
Spectrum Markets Partners
with ICE Data Services Italy
Initially
launching in Italy, the collaboration will encompass Spectrum's reference data,
with the possibility of integrating other data streams, such as real-time
market information in the future. As the partnership expands, other regions
across Europe will be included. ICE Data Services Italy is the latest addition
to Spectrum's growing ecosystem of data and connectivity partners, which
already comprises LIST and SIA (part of Nexi Group).
Spectrum Markets CEO, Nicky Maan
The CEO at Spectrum
Markets, Nicky Maan, emphasized the company's commitment to constantly
enhancing and evolving its infrastructure and service offering by actively
listening to customer needs.
"The
collaboration with ICE Data Services Italy is the latest step in this
continuing journey," Maan commented. "We are really pleased to be
working with them to make it even easier for members to access our
plug-and-play infrastructure."
In addition,
Spectrum Markets recently partnered with Societe Generale (SocGen), which
became a market maker and liquidity provider for new instruments
added to the company's offering. SocGen introduced vanilla warrant products and
a range of daily constant leverage instruments, making these accessible to
retail investors in Scandinavia and Spain via their respective banks or
brokers.

Giacomin, ICE Data Services' Head of Southern Europe Market Development,

its trading venue and data. Giacomin also noted the potential to bring more
data to new audiences around Europe, as businesses increasingly seek diverse

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
