Options Integrates Abu Dhabi Exchange Feed to Bolster Middle East Market Data Framework

Event summary

  • Options Technology has onboarded the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) market data feed into its AtlasFeed platform.
  • ADX is the second-largest exchange in the Arab world and ranks among the top 20 globally by market capitalization.
  • The integration supports Options' strategy to create a scalable framework for Middle Eastern market data feeds.
  • This follows recent moves including the appointment of Larry Leibowitz as Chairman and the acquisition of Crossvale.

The big picture

Options' integration of ADX feed aligns with the growing importance of Middle Eastern markets in global finance. As exchanges in the region expand their product offerings—including equities, debt instruments, and ETFs—the demand for reliable market data infrastructure is rising. This move positions Options to capitalize on increasing institutional activity in the UAE and broader Middle East, where regulatory support and economic diversification initiatives are fueling market growth.
