Exegy, a provider of market data and trading infrastructure, has launched Nexus, a new FPGA-powered market data platform designed to meet the demands of high-volume and high-volatility trading environments. According to the firm, the platform replaces traditional server-heavy systems with hardware-accelerated solutions that process data in microseconds.

While Nexus targets institutional clients—such as market makers, agency brokers, and hedge funds—its impact may extend to the retail trading sector through improved liquidity and infrastructure efficiency. Many retail and CFD brokers rely on institutional liquidity providers, who could benefit from faster market data, lower operational costs, and greater scalability through Nexus.

Retail Brokers May Gain from Nexus

According to Exegy, Nexus enables trading strategies to react in under 3 microseconds and reduces datacenter footprints by over 40%. A case study with a U.S. equities broker showed potential infrastructure savings of nearly $2 million annually, with reduced server counts and improved performance.

For end users on retail platforms, these infrastructure enhancements may lead to tighter spreads, more consistent pricing, and faster execution—especially during volatile periods.

Exegy, BMLL Partner on OPRA Data

In a separate development, Exegy and BMLL Technologies have expanded their partnership to improve the integration of historical and real-time data for U.S. equity options trading. The collaboration focuses on addressing the complexity of processing OPRA data, which covers pricing information for listed options in the United States.

BMLL recently introduced U.S. equity options data to its offering, using Exegy’s Axiom as the real-time data source. The initiative aims to align historical and real-time datasets through shared formatting and conflation techniques, supporting more efficient backtesting and live deployment for clients.

As part of its leadership expansion, Exegy appointed Jim Fiesel as Chief Revenue Officer. He brings experience in financial technology, having previously held senior roles at Broadridge, Finastra, and Tradeweb. Most recently, he served as Managing Director for the Americas at Broadridge for nearly three years.
