Horizon Trading Solutions to Provide Connectivity Solutions to Bursa Malaysia Derivatives for Securities Futures Trading System
07 August 2025 – Paris, Kuala Lumpur – Horizon Trading Solutions (Horizon), a leading global provider of multi-asset electronic trading technology, today announces it is set to provide its connectivity solutions to Bursa Malaysia Derivatives’ Securities Futures Trading System (SFTS).
Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is the national derivatives exchange in Malaysia that offers a diverse range of commodity, equity and financial futures and options tradeable globally. As part of its continuous product development efforts to meet evolving investor demand, Bursa Malaysia Derivatives reintroduced its Single Stock Futures (SSF) listed on SFTS in March 2025, offering new leveraged trading opportunities to ASEAN investors.
Horizon’s SOR is built on Aeron, a low-latency, high throughput messaging platform. This foundation establishes a resilient platform that can scale and adapt efficiently to high volumes. As market volatility shows no signs of slowing, this offering allows brokers to source liquidity from their algos to manage the substantial growth in trading volumes.
Horizon will develop a gateway that enables all market makers using Horizon’s trading platform to connect seamlessly to SFTS. This integration allows market makers to quote prices and provide liquidity in SSF directly through Horizon’s infrastructure, helping to support a more vibrant and accessible market.
"We are proud to support Bursa Malaysia Derivatives in the relaunch of its SSF. As a long-standing partner in the region, Horizon is well-positioned to contribute our technology, market expertise, and network to this initiative. SSF offer compelling opportunities for both retail and institutional players, and we are committed to facilitating their efficient access to this market."
“We welcome Horizon as a vendor supporting market connectivity for SFTS. This initiative complements the Exchange’s ongoing efforts to improve market liquidity and efficiency, ultimately fostering a vibrant trading environment for all market participants.”
This milestone reflects Horizon’s continued commitment to supporting regional exchanges and enhancing access to emerging markets. It also expands Horizon’s presence in Southeast Asia, by providing the infrastructure needed for market makers to participate efficiently in SSF via a single, integrated platform.
