ASX taps LSEG to modernise derivatives trading infrastructure. The ASX has partnered with the uk's LSEG Markets Technology to overhaul its ASX 24 derivatives platform, aiming to boost resilience and support future growth. Reading Time: 3 mins read The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) has signed an agreement with LSEG Markets Technology to upgrade the technology underpinning its ASX 24 derivatives trading platform, as the exchange seeks to strengthen system resilience and support future market expansion. ASX 24 is the primary venue for trading Australian and New Zealand interest rate, equity and commodity futures and options. The market operates some of the longest trading hours globally and supports a broad, liquid trading community within Australia's AAA-rated financial system. Through the partnership, LSEG Markets Technology will deliver a new trading platform designed to handle higher volumes and faster execution while reducing operational risk. The system is expected to provide the infrastructure needed for ASX 24 to expand its product offering and respond to increasingly complex global derivatives markets. LSEG's trading infrastructure, part of the London Stock Exchange Group which runs the FTSE, already supports a range of major exchanges and financial markets around the world, including platforms in Brazil, Qatar, Argentina and Singapore. According to the ASX, the two parties will now spend 2026 working on the design, testing and migration of the new system, alongside preparations with market participants to support the transition. Once implemented, the upgrade is expected to support future developments in liquidity, transparency and product innovation across one of the world's most actively traded interest-rate derivatives markets. Bruce Kellaway, global head of LSEG Markets Technology, said the collaboration would help strengthen the underlying infrastructure supporting derivatives trading. "ASX 24 plays a vital role not only in Australia but across global derivatives markets. We are proud to partner with ASX in delivering next-generation trading infrastructure that enhances resilience, strengthens performance, and enables innovation," Kellaway said. "LSEG Markets Technology underpins major exchanges around the world, and this partnership reinforces our shared commitment to maintaining strong, transparent, and globally competitive markets while demonstrating leadership in delivering world-class markets technology at scale." Farid Sammur, head of markets technology at ASX, said modernising the platform was an important step to ensure the exchange's derivatives market continues operating efficiently. "Upgrading ASX 24's trading platform is a critical investment in the long-term resilience and performance of Australia's derivatives markets platform. Our focus is on running a fast, fair, and reliable environment that enables our customers to manage their risk and discover prices," Sammur said. "This upgrade positions ASX 24 with the infrastructure to innovate faster, continue to respond to changing participant needs, and maintain a high standard of operational excellence in our market." The move follows a series of reform proposals put forward by an ASIC inquiry after it uncovered deep structural failings. Problems including a focus on short-term financial performance and shareholder returns that compromised its obligations to operate critical national market infrastructure, a lack of vision necessary for the ASX's critical role and governance structures that do not ensure the independence of its Clearing and Settlement subsidiaries and their required levels of investment. The planned reforms include: * Strengthening the independence and governance of ASX's Clearing and Settlement Facilities boards * A strategic reset of ASX's transformation program 'Accelerate', with clear milestones and accountability for delivery * The imposition of an additional $150 million capital charge on ASX Limited to ensure ASX maintains robust financial resources until remediation is complete * A commitment to stronger leadership * ASIC and the RBA will step up their review to uplift their joint supervisory model.
