The agreement marks a 14-year anniversary of technology partnership between Nasdaq and OPCOM.

James Martin, regional manager, of Europe, Middle East and Africa market technology at Nasdaq, said: "By running trading and clearing technology on the Nasdaq Financial Framework, OPCOM can seamlessly build and expand its business and capabilities to the benefit of its clients, partners and investors. We look forward to forging ahead in the next chapter of our successful partnership."
