"ATEO has provided premier middle-office solutions to our clients, with functionally rich and reliable software," said ATEO founder and CEO Laurent Courbin. "We can now scale significantly as part of the TT team and infrastructure."

Trading Technologies has also been forging partnerships to broaden its market reach. In March, the firm connected to the European Power Exchange (EPEX SPOT), enabling its clients to access European physical power markets and utilize algorithmic trading tools for intraday power trading.

"The integration of EPEX's fast-growing intraday power markets into our platform takes that to a new level," said Trading Technologies CEO Keith Todd.

On the cryptocurrency front, Trading Technologies recently integrated with Coinbase Derivatives Exchange (formerly FairX), allowing clients to trade Nano Bitcoin futures and Nano Ether futures on Coinbase through the TT platform.
