Euronext cloud datafeed
- Euronext launched a cloud-based market-data feed aimed at banks and mid-sized asset managers that don't need ultra-low latency. - The new feed targets customers who can accept higher latency in exchange for broader access and lower operational complexity. - This shows exchanges are deliberately tiering infrastructure by use case, which should inform architecture and budget segmentation for trading platforms (waterstechnology.com).
Euronext has started selling a cloud-delivered market-data feed to banks and mid-sized asset managers that do not need the fastest possible prices. (waterstechnology.com) The product sits inside a new Euronext Stream lineup that delivers real-time market data from Euronext venues through cloud technology instead of traditional on-premises exchange connectivity. Euronext says the lineup includes a Kafka-based feed for higher-throughput pipelines and a WebSocket feed for dashboards, analytics tools and web applications. (euronext.com) Market data is the stream of quotes, trades and order-book updates that trading firms use to price securities, run models and monitor markets. Euronext’s existing Optiq Market Data Gateway remains its low-latency direct feed, while the new cloud options trade some speed for easier integration and lower connectivity overhead. (euronext.com) Euronext says its cloud delivery covers all Euronext markets and asset classes on the Optiq platform, and lets clients choose different levels of detail such as full depth, top of book or last trade. The exchange also says firms can connect over the public internet, private cloud or cloud-proximity setups, depending on their needs. (euronext.com) That split reflects how exchanges now package infrastructure by customer type. High-frequency traders still pay for colocation and direct feeds measured in microseconds, while portfolio managers, analytics teams and many banks can work with cloud delivery measured more loosely if setup is simpler. (euronext.com; confluent.io) Euronext runs regulated markets in Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris, and says it operates a single integrated order book across its venues. That scale gives it a large installed base for data products that can be sold as direct feeds, web services and now cloud-native feeds. (euronext.com) The timing also lands in a market-data business that is still getting more expensive. Euronext told customers in a January 2026 notice that it was applying a 2.4% inflation adjustment to all market-data fees from January 1, 2026, and flagged more contract changes later in 2026 as European rules evolve. (euronext.com) Euronext is not abandoning low-latency infrastructure. Its own trading-access materials still pitch direct data-centre presence for ultra-low-latency cash and derivatives trading, while its data pages describe Optiq MDG as the route for clients that want unfiltered bulk real-time data with maximum flexibility. (euronext.com; euronext.com) The result is a more explicit menu: direct-feed speed for firms that trade on every microsecond, cloud delivery for firms that would rather cut operational complexity. For buyers, that turns market-data architecture into a budgeting decision as much as a technology one. (waterstechnology.com; euronext.com)
