December 5, 2025

Connamara Technologies’ EP3® platform was awarded the Best Trading Infrastructure Initiative at the American Financial Technology Awards (AFTA)s 2025, presented by WatersTechnology. In a write-up about the win, WatersTechnology Staff wrote,

“Why they won: Connamara Technologies wins the category for the best trading infrastructure initiative in this year’s AFTAs, thanks to its outstanding EP3 exchange infrastructure offering designed to allow a variety of new exchanges to launch quickly and cost-effectively. The platform—featuring trade matching, clearing, settlement, market surveillance, reporting, risk management, administration, and market access—provides user-firms with an integrated infrastructure that removes the operational and financial barriers that often prevent new exchanges from launching. EP3 is designed specifically to help new operators enter the market and scale quickly as their trade volumes grow, thanks to its ability to support all the above-mentioned functions, while end-users gain access to emerging asset classes on venues built with tried-and-tested technology and safeguards. EP3’s cloud-native and asset-agnostic design ensures that exchanges can adapt to evolving trading models while maintaining stability and security around the clock. The firm’s track record across global predictions, crypto, tokenization and energy markets shows how the solution supports credible, well-regulated venues, ultimately improving market quality and expanding investment opportunities for all market participants regardless of their location.”
