The Validus platform is widely accepted by regulators around the globe and was seamless to integrate into our marketplace thanks to its cloud deployment and flexible connectivity capabilities.”
Josh Hoffberg, EDX Head of Market Operations, said: “It’s extremely important that we get trade surveillance right.
