BMLL Technologies expands its data offering by adding six years of OPRA options data to its platform.
This expansion comes on the heels of BMLL's recent $21 million strategic investment.
BMLL
Technologies, a provider of historical market data and analytics, announced
today (Tuesday) the integration of comprehensive US equity options data into
its platform, expanding its market intelligence offerings.
BMLL Expands Market Data
Suite with US Options Coverage
The company
is now providing six years of historical Options Price Reporting Authority
(OPRA) data at nanosecond precision, available through its cloud-based
services. This addition follows BMLL's recent expansion of equities coverage to
98% of the MSCI All-Country World Index.
OPRA is a
securities information processor that consolidates and disseminates real-time
trading and quotation information for all US exchange-listed options contracts.
It collects and distributes complete trading data from all 16 US options
exchanges, including last sale prices, quotations, and trading volume, making
it the authoritative source for options market data in the United States
Paul Humphrey, CEO of BMLL
“Adding
OPRA options data is another significant milestone in our data coverage
expansion strategy,” said Paul Humphrey, Chief Executive Officer of BMLL. “Including
OPRA options in our data and analytics capabilities is a natural evolution for
BMLL, driven by customer demand for a best-in-class product.”
The timing
of this launch is particularly relevant as market participants grapple with
increasing data costs and OPRA's planned expansion of data dissemination from
48 to 96 lines in February 2024. The new offering aims to address these
challenges by providing cloud-based access to approximately 4 terabytes of
daily options market data.
David Robinson, Chief Technology Officer at BMLL
“Spiralling
data costs and OPRA's expansion have placed a significant burden on market
participants, both in terms of managing market data budgets and the necessary
data infrastructure,” said David Robinson, Chief Technology Officer at BMLL.
“As a result, firms are looking for cloud-based OPRA data services that are
easy to access, within their existing workflows.”
The move will
help democratize market data access and provide institutional investors
with tools previously available only to the largest market participants.
BMLL Raises $21 Million as
Optiver Takes Stake
The
dataset, accessible through BMLL Data Lab and BMLL Data Feed via AWS S3,
consolidates information from all major US options exchanges, including BOX,
Cboe exchanges, Miami International Securities Exchange, and various Nasdaq
venues. Market participants can access the data at multiple levels of
conflation to suit their specific requirements.
This
expansion comes on the heels of BMLL's recent $21 million strategic investment
led by
Optiver in October 2024. This latest financing follows BMLL’s $26 million
Series B round almost two years ago.
“We have an
incredibly diverse team of supporting investors, with deep-seated global market
and technology expertise, and we are poised to scale the business further as we
build out and scale our data feed business and futures coverage and wider
product offering globally,” added Humphrey.
Optiver
plans to incorporate BMLL's historical Level 1, 2, and 3 data into its trading
operations to improve algorithm development, execution analysis, and market
surveillance.
BMLL's Recent Partnerships
Throughout
the year, BMLL has also expanded its partnerships and data offerings to enhance
data accessibility and integration for financial market participants.
In June,
BMLL partnered with INQDATA, a cloud-based data solutions provider, to enable
financial market participants to access BMLL's extensive historical market data
within their kdb+ environment. This collaboration allows users, including data
scientists and application developers, to efficiently access and explore
granular historical market data and analytics derived from Level 3 data.
Earlier in
the year, BMLL joined forces with CCData, an FCA-authorized benchmark
administrator specializing in digital asset data solutions and settlement
indices. By combining CCData's digital asset data solutions with BMLL's order
book data and pre- and post-trade analytics for ETFs and futures on digital
assets, market participants can access accurate crypto and FX data solutions.
In January,
BMLL completed the first phase of its program to improve customer access to
datasets by making three datasets available via the Snowflake Marketplace.

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.
