EXA Infrastructure has announced the launch of the EXA Financial Network, a new platform that will connect major financial exchanges across North America and Europe. The largest owned infrastructure platform of its kind will connect 25 exchanges across 11 countries, representing over 60% of global market capitalisation.

As one of the leading operators of digital infrastructure across Europe and to North America, EXA Infrastructure is uniquely positioned to offer financial institutions distinct advantages in terms of performance, reliability and responsiveness. With cutting-edge technology deployed across the network, along with optimised routing, the EXA Financial Network enables real-time access to market data, fast order execution, price discovery, and market liquidity.

The EXA financial network has been designed for firms that require direct access to financial exchanges to support their trading activities, whether that be equities, derivatives, commodities, or foreign exchange. The new platform will complement EXA Infrastructure’s market-leading ultra-low latency route between New York and London, EXA Express.

"The EXA financial network is designed to serve the needs of our customers that trade across international markets and where reliability, speed and resiliency are critical advantages where every millisecond matters” said Nicholas Collins, chief commercial officer at EXA Infrastructure.

“We have designed this network as a platform, meaning this is the first step in our roadmap that will see us launch additional low-latency and adjacent services tailored for the financial community”, said Collins

EXA Infrastructure has invested over $300 million since September 2021 as part of its ongoing network investment and expansion strategy. This focus on investment means EXA Infrastructure is well positioned to serve the growing needs of customers and will ensure that the EXA Financial Network continues to evolve to meet the trading demands of the future.
