Nasdaq and Amazon Web Services (AWS) unveiled a new blueprint to modernize capital markets infrastructure globally. The initiative combines Nasdaq’s market technology with AWS’s cloud infrastructure to boost liquidity, efficiency, and resilience while maintaining local data sovereignty.
Key highlights:
- Nasdaq Eqlipse, a next-gen technology suite, delivers cloud-ready trading, clearing, and data tools across the trade lifecycle.
- The partnership supports proximity-based infrastructure to minimize latency and enhance connectivity.
- A new services deployment model combines Nasdaq and AWS expertise to help markets accelerate modernization with lower risk.
Initial adopters:
- Nasdaq’s Nordic markets will align with the blueprint, starting with the derivatives segment.
- Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) will integrate data services, co-location, and AI-based innovations.
- Grupo BMV (Mexico) will explore expanding cloud-based modernization across clearing and CSD platforms.
The effort aims to remove operational friction, attract global capital flows, and build a more interconnected and resilient financial ecosystem.
