Tradeweb is a leader in electronic trading marketplaces and serves institutional, wholesale and retail investors through a plethora of platforms such as Tradeweb, Dealerweb and Tradeweb Direct. With the acquisition of R8fin, an algorithmic trading platform, Tradeweb is interested in expanding support for other securities, such as European Government Bonds. The goal of this project was to provide a proof of concept for integration of R8fin’s algorithmic trading suite into Tradeweb’s existing infrastructure.
