Transaction Network Services (TNS) has expanded its global market data and infrastructure footprint in the APAC region by adding connectivity to the Japan Alternative Market (JAX).
This new connection provides TNS customers with direct, managed access to JAX’s market data feeds, delivered across TNS’s global network.
JAX began operations in December 2024, adding a new trading venue to Japan’s equities market.
Through TNS’s connectivity, global firms can access JAX market data and incorporate it into their trading and analytics workflows.
TNS says that firms can leverage its extranet, consisting of over 5,000 endpoints for local broker access, and can view JAX market data alongside other major exchanges via TNS’s global network.
Jeff Mezger, vice president of product management at TNS, says: “The rise of alternative trading venues like JAX represents a significant shift in the Asian financial landscape.
“JAX is a compelling success story, and by making its market data available to our global customer base, we are helping to lower the barriers to entry for firms looking to capitalise on this competitive shift.”
A JAX spokesperson adds: “Partnering with TNS provides JAX with a direct link to a broad, international community of market participants.
“Their global infrastructure and deep experience in market connectivity supports JAX’s continued growth as we build a more competitive trading environment in Japan.”
