TORONTO, August 18, 2026 – CIX Trading Inc. (“CIX”), Canada’s newest alternative trading system (ATS), today announced that Options Technology (“Options”), a leading provider of trading infrastructure to global financial markets, will provide access to market data from all three CIX trading venues through its AtlasFeed offering.
CIX is the first ATS to launch in Canada in more than 10 years. Its new equity marketplace is designed to help close the innovation gap between Canadian and U.S. markets through modern features that include extended trading hours and native support for fractional shares.
Through AtlasFeed, Options will deliver fully normalized and raw market data streams from all three CIX venues, providing its clients with reliable, high-performance access to the CIX marketplace.
“At CIX Trading, our platform is designed to give market participants the modern tools and flexibility they need to compete on a global scale,” said Jeff Foster, founder and CEO of CIX Trading. “By making data from all three of our trading venues available through AtlasFeed, Options is helping expand access to CIX and the innovations we are bringing to Canada’s equity markets. Extended trading hours and fractional share trading will help lower barriers to market participation, improve opportunities for portfolio diversification and give investors greater flexibility beyond standard market hours.”
Danny Moore, President and CEO of Options Technology, commented: “Since expanding into Canada in 2021, we have remained committed to deepening our support for clients across Canada’s financial markets. Expanding AtlasFeed to include CIX reflects our continued investment in next-generation equity trading infrastructure and our commitment to delivering exceptional performance and reliability across all data streams.”
The collaboration with Options is another important step in CIX’s development of a modern, high-performance equity marketplace for Canada. At launch, CIX will operate three trading venues, each with a distinct value proposition. The platform is powered by IntelligentCross, the largest ATS in the United States, and features advanced matching technology designed to deliver better post-trade markouts and reduced slippage.
