Exchange Infrastructure Technology
ADEX Technology provides the infrastructure stack required to operate regulated markets, including trading interfaces, matching engine technology, real-time risk management, clearing technology, settlement technology, market surveillance, reporting APIs and institutional connectivity.
Trading, risk, clearing, settlement, custody, reporting and oversight in one infrastructure layer.
ADEX Technology Stack
ADEX Technology is designed as an integrated market infrastructure stack rather than a set of isolated modules. Trading interfaces, APIs, matching, risk, clearing, settlement, custody integration, reporting and surveillance operate as connected components within the same controlled environment.
This architecture allows regulated market operators to manage the full trade lifecycle, from order entry and execution through to margin, clearing, settlement, reporting and oversight.
Retail-Side Technology Within an Institutional Architecture
ADEX Technology can support retail-facing trading workflows without compromising the deeper institutional architecture required for regulated market infrastructure. Retail functionality such as timed RFQ, copy trading where permitted and configured, LP provision and principal execution can sit above a controlled infrastructure layer for matching, risk, clearing, settlement, surveillance and reporting.
This means a venue can offer accessible trading workflows to retail or professional users while retaining the infrastructure needed for growth into institutional products, derivatives, clearing and settlement.

What Is Exchange Infrastructure Technology?
Exchange infrastructure technology is the specialised software and operating environment used to run a regulated trading venue. It includes the systems required for participant access, order entry, execution, market data, risk controls, clearing, settlement, custody integration, surveillance, reporting and administration.
For institutional markets, the technology stack must be deterministic, auditable and resilient. It must support the venue rulebook, preserve market integrity, provide reliable records and connect front-office trading activity to post-trade obligations.
ADEX Technology provides this infrastructure as a connected stack for multi-asset market operators.
Technology Use Cases
ADEX Technology can support regulated market infrastructure across multiple deployment models, asset classes and operating structures.
Launching a Regulated Exchange
Technology stack for new trading venues requiring execution, risk, clearing, settlement, reporting and operational controls.
Exchange-as-a-Service
Infrastructure for operators seeking to launch or modernise a venue without building the full technology stack internally.
Digital Asset Markets
Technology for spot and derivatives markets requiring custody integration, wallet-aware workflows, real-time risk and settlement controls.
Futures and Derivatives Markets
Support for margining, variation margin, expiry, deliverable futures, cash settlement, physical settlement and clearing workflows.
Commodity and Carbon Markets
Asset-aware infrastructure for markets where settlement, custody, registries, warehouses or delivery workflows matter.
Market Infrastructure Modernisation
Technology for operators replacing batch processes, fragmented reporting and legacy risk workflows with integrated real-time systems.
Integrated by Design
Modern market infrastructure cannot treat trading, risk, clearing, settlement and reporting as disconnected systems. A fast matching engine is not enough if risk is delayed, clearing is batch-based, settlement is manual or reporting is incomplete.
This structure supports real-time visibility, stronger operational control and clearer regulatory oversight.
Proprietary Infrastructure Concepts
ADEX Technology includes proprietary infrastructure concepts designed to support real-time clearing, collateral control, delivery readiness and institutional market operation.
Programmable Exchange Infrastructure
ADEX Technology exposes institutional connectivity patterns for trading, market data, reporting, administration, custody, banking and settlement workflows.
Institutional order entry, execution reports and trading connectivity.
Application integration for trading, administration and operational workflows.
High-performance protocol support for latency-sensitive participants.
Streaming and structured access to prices, order book state and trade activity.
Operational, clearing, settlement and compliance records for authorised users.
Controlled integration for market operations, reference data and configuration.
Connectivity patterns for asset control, custody status and settlement workflows.
Interfaces for cash movements, reconciliation and settlement support.
Structured evidence, audit records and supervisory reporting support.
Technology Across Asset Classes
