Toronto, ON – July 22, 2026 – CIX Trading Inc. (“CIX”), the next-generation Canadian alternative trading system, today announced that Iress, a leading global provider of trading and market data technology, has successfully completed certification with the CIX platform. This comes ahead of a planned integration between CIX and Iress expected to go live later this year.
This milestone represents a significant step forward in CIX’s ongoing onboarding of broker-dealers and technology partners, ensuring seamless connectivity and readiness ahead of launch.
Iress is used widely by Canadian and global dealers to access equity markets, and its certification enables clients to efficiently connect to CIX through existing workflows. The forthcoming integration is expected to accelerate adoption by providing market participants with immediate access to CIX’s innovative market structure and functionality.
“Certification with Iress is an important milestone as we continue to build a highly connected and accessible marketplace,” said Jeff Foster, Founder and CEO of CIX. “Our goal is to minimize friction for dealers and ensure that accessing CIX is as seamless as possible through the systems they already use every day.”
CIX is building a modern equity trading venue designed to enhance market efficiency, improve liquidity, and expand access for investors. The platform introduces features such as an optimized matching algorithm to maximize price discovery and stability, extended trading hours, fractional share trading, and a more flexible order book structure—innovations aimed at aligning Canada’s market structure with global standards and improving retail participation.
The addition of Iress further strengthens CIX’s growing ecosystem of connectivity partners, supporting a broad range of market participants including institutional brokers, retail dealers, and proprietary trading firms.
“We are pleased to complete certification with CIX and support demand from our clients in accessing this new marketplace,” said Steve Weishar, Executive General Manager - Canada at Iress. “CIX will introduce important innovations to the Canadian market, and we are committed to enabling efficient connectivity and adoption through our platform.”
CIX continues to engage with industry stakeholders as it progresses toward approval and launch, with a focus on delivering a high-performance, technology-driven trading venue that complements and enhances Canada’s existing market infrastructure.
