Data, technology, and market infrastructure provider Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is touting the availability of Blue Ocean Technologies’ real-time data feed for domestic equities trading on the ICE Consolidated Feed.
“With so many Asian companies now listed on U.S. exchanges and investors needing access to U.S. liquidity, it’s exciting to bring greater transparency to our customers throughout the region,” ICE Fixed Income and Data Services President Amanda Hindlian said. “The Blue Ocean ATS meets a unique need in global equity trading and is a perfect match for the global distribution and connectivity network that we offer.”
ICE indicated the offering combines Blue Ocean ATS’ real-time after-hours market data with the global reach and distribution of the ICE Consolidated Feed and connectivity, providing trading access to domestic National Market System stocks between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. ET and matching the most active trading period in Asia.
“As we work to deliver on our mission of offering real-time access to U.S. equity trading and market data during Asian hours, working with companies like ICE allows us to provide our data to the broadest possible market in a short amount of time,” Blue Ocean Technologies Chief Operating Officer Matt Horisk said.
Horisk said the ICE Consolidated Feed provides Blue Ocean Technologies with the reach needed to continue growing in countries throughout Asia while delivering a reliable platform for presenting data in key financial markets globally.
