smartTrade Technologies SAS has acquired Celoxica, a provider of ultra-low latency execution infrastructure for listed markets across 80+ venues worldwide.

The collaboration adds outsourced dealing, real-time risk intelligence and trading-flow surveillance to STARPRIME's institutional liquidity offering.

Its EU entity already held a MiFID II licence, so one Vilnius-based firm can now offer partners securities and crypto-assets under a single regulatory roof, with crypto services due in the new year. Add the recent Ripple tie-up for RLUSD settlement and the direction is obvious: stocks, stablecoins and tokenised assets through one API. A shot across the bows for white-label brokerage rivals in Europe.
