“This acquisition creates substantial value and synergy for the shareholders of 24 Exchange. This combination will bring new technology offerings to 24 Exchange customers and help expand market reach and service capabilities."

Among its services, 11B provides order, execution and risk management systems for FX Spot, FX Swaps, FX NDF, Crypto Spot and Crypto NDFs.

24 Exchange said it also provides matching engine, CRM and back office connectivity through FIX API, GUI and mobile interfaces. 11B technology provides post-trade and third-party systems integrations with matching engines located in Equinix data centres in London and New York (LD4 and NY4).
