Austin, Texas – May 28, 2025 Connamara Technologies, the leader in fully-integrated end-to-end exchange technology, is pleased to announce that its EP3® exchange infrastructure solution is the technology choice of Figure Markets, a leader in decentralized finance. Figure Markets successfully launched its innovative DeFi marketplace on March 20, 2024.
Figure Markets is Building the Exchange for Everything
Figure Markets is democratizing finance through the blockchain by building an exchange for everything – a decentralized custody marketplace for crypto, stocks, bonds, credit and more. The exchange combines leverage, margining, and liquidity with extensive borrowing options and unique investment opportunities. Decentralized custody ensures that exchange members have control of their own assets and data.
In February 2025, Figure Markets launched the first interest-bearing transferable stablecoin (YLDS) native to a public blockchain, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
EP3 is Powering a New Breed of Exchanges
EPS is a cloud-first, end-to-end exchange and clearing solution seamlessly integrating all key functions into a single, robust platform, including market access, market-data distribution, order matching and execution, exchange operations and administration, risk management, market surveillance, regulatory reporting, clearing, and settlement.
It is purpose-built for the next generation of exchanges and marketplaces, with technology that is quick-to-market, cost-accessible, and easily adaptable to traditional asset classes as well as new asset classes. These include equities, futures, crypto, tokenized assets, events, sports, and more.
