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.

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.
