XTX Markets Selects Abide Financial for Multi-Asset Regulatory Reporting
- XTX Markets adds Abide Financial for its multi-regime regulatory reporting needs.

London-based Abide Financial, a leading regulatory reporting specialist with backing from ICAP Plc, has been chosen by XTX Markets to manage its compliance and transaction reporting obligations across multi-asset, multi-regime reporting channels.
Abide Financial will act as the managed service reporting partner for XTX Markets in order to handle its transaction reporting across multiple asset classes, according to a corporate announcement.
XTX Markets transacts in equities, as well as in fixed income, currency, and commodities (FICC), and Abide will provide multi-asset reporting across various regulatory regimes where the company has reporting obligations.
This synergy will help XTX meet its reporting obligations under EMIR, MIFID/MIFIR, SFTR and other regulatory regimes, thanks to support from Abide Financial’s solutions. The news follows after XTX Markets' appointing Jigar Patel to head its commodities division, as announced in the prior quarter - just before the company made another key hire from RBS.
