Tradeweb has selected Propellant Digital’s technology to enhance its automated pricing engines, execution tools and analytics workflows.
The trading platform will use Propellant’s technology to process UK and EU post-trade data, FINRA TRACE, the UK and EU bond consolidated tapes, and FTC-regulated swap data repositories.
The need for consolidated consolidated tape data has been a key space for vendors to tap into. At FILS this year, nearly half of the buy-side participants polled stated that they were not using the tape, arguing that the data would be more useful if it were cleansed by a third party.

“Comparing consolidated tape, venue and APA, TRACE and swap data on a like-for-like basis requires consistent treatment of duplicate reports, deferrals and amendments, and common instrument classification, which Propellant’s technology provides,” Propellant stated.
In June, European tape provider parent company Ediphy launched a service combining the UK, US and upcoming European tape data.
