LONDON & NEW YORK & HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Options Technology, the leading provider of financial technology and global market data solutions, today announced its selection as the primary market data provider for GO Markets into Asian Markets.

The strategic partnership will begin with the provision of Hong Kong Stock Exchange data and the redistribution of derived CFD products (Contracts for Difference), with the vision of replicating this success and extending into markets worldwide.

GO Markets, as a regulated multi-award-winning global financial services provider, has chosen Options as its underlying market data provider due to its advanced risk monitoring capabilities, efficient market data management, and globally leading infrastructure. By leveraging Options' ACTIV normalized data as the primary technology partner, GO Markets aims to enhance its offerings and provide clients with unparalleled insights and opportunities in the region.

“We are delighted to be selected as GO Markets’ primary market data provider for their expansion into the Asian Markets,” said Danny Moore, President and CEO at Options. “Our comprehensive suite of market data solutions and risk management tools will empower GO Markets to elevate their retail brokerage services and deliver real-time, accurate data to their clients.

Their technology and expertise will strengthen our risk management framework and empower us to expand our presence in the Asian markets, offering a seamless trading experience for our valued clients.”

The initial phase of the partnership will focus on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, where Options’ market data solutions will enable GO Markets’ clients to make informed trading decisions and execute strategies confidently. The redistribution of derived CFD products will provide a layer of diversification and flexibility for traders seeking new opportunities in the region.

As part of the new partnership, the firms are eager to explore opportunities to expand their collaboration into additional markets, starting with Hong Kong and then expanding across markets in South East Asia.

Today’s news comes as the latest in a series of exciting developments for Options, including its deployment of real time market data feed from Aquis Stock Exchange and Börse Stuttgart, the deployment of OPRA in Frankfurt FR2 and its expansion of onshore trading infrastructure and colocation services in Taiwan.
