STELLAR TRADING SYSTEMS AND ABAXX EXCHANGE PARTNER TO EXPAND MARKET ACCESS

Abaxx Technologies Inc., together with Stellar Trading Systems Ltd., a leading independent software vendor providing front office execution software to global trading firms, has completed full connectivity between Stellar's suite of trading platforms and the Abaxx Exchange.

With connectivity now live, Stellar becomes the latest trading technology provider offering access to Abaxx Exchange. The integration connects Abaxx's growing suite of commodity futures contracts with Stellar's low latency solutions, spreadMachine, Quantum Server, MarketMaker and Server API products, giving traders seamless access to Abaxx markets through the Stellar ecosystem.

Stellar's strong connectivity to the world's primary gold futures markets -- SHFE, TOCOM, COMEX, TFEX, DGCX and MCX -- and to spot, forward and NDF (non-deliverable forward) gold liquidity align directly with Abaxx's precious metal suite, including the only physically deliverable, U.S.-dollar-denominated gold futures contract in Singapore. In parallel, Stellar's established infrastructure for trading battery materials complements Abaxx's expanding portfolio of contracts across the sector. Trading firms already active in these markets through Stellar can now extend their activity to Abaxx's futures benchmarks through a connected trading environment.

"We're pleased to welcome Stellar Trading Systems to Abaxx Exchange," said Shanmei Lim, chief of markets at Abaxx Exchange. "Connecting Stellar's global client base to Abaxx's new commodity futures benchmarks expands access for market participants and reinforces the commercial ecosystem developing across our growing suite of futures contracts."

"Our integration with Abaxx Exchange extends Stellar's high performance trading environment to the next generation of commodity futures benchmarks," said Steve Thomas, chief executive officer at Stellar Trading Systems. "Stellar's platforms serve institutions, brokers and proprietary firms that demand speed, precision and reliability. This integration extends that same performance to Abaxx markets through the advanced infrastructure connecting more than 60 global venues."
