The recent Fixed Income Leaders’ Summit (FILS) in Washington highlighted several transformative trends shaping the financial industry: artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and the expansion of trade electronification into less liquid securities. As TT builds out our new fixed income trading platform, we are aligning closely with these trends. In this blog post, I’ll take a look at them in more detail, then address how these trends are shaping our strategy. 

Adam Passaglia started his career as a runner on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 2000. He went on to found ARB Trading Group, a proprietary trading firm that today operates seven offices across the globe. A long-time friend and client of TT, Adam recently talked to me about the evolution of ARB Trading Group, how the market has changed, the increasing importance of artificial intelligence and how TT’s data warehouse will drive future business growth. 

TT has a long history of winning awards for our products, including Derivatives Trading System of the Year, Best EMS Provider, TCA Provider of the Year, Best Algorithmic Trading Provider and Trade Surveillance Product of the Year, just to name a few. But it’s not just our products that are best in class. It’s also our people. So I was thrilled when our own Alice Pocklington, who serves as TT’s EVP Head of APAC, was named Best in Fintech at the 2025 Women in Finance Asia Awards earlier this month. 

FX is the largest financial market in the world by trading volume and has been at the epicentre of the storm that has hit capital markets over the past three months.

As TT moves further down the path to building a holistic, multi-asset trading platform, foreign exchange (FX) is an essential component of our offering to clients both today and in the future. We recently completed our integration to the EBS Market central limit order book and will soon also offer EBS Direct and CME’s new FX Spot+ platform. 

What are the top five challenges for compliance teams in today’s rapidly evolving regulatory environment? We posed this question to a cross-section of industry experts from the trading and legal communities at a recent panel discussion co-hosted with Foley & Lardner, who provide legal counsel on global regulations for securities, derivatives and other financial products. Ahead of XLoD Global – New York, we’re sharing some of the big themes from the panel and how TT’s trade surveillance software can support trading firms in their compliance operations.
