Axoni – a provider of data synchronization technology and financial market infrastructure – announced the closing of a $20 million equity financing round led by EJF Ventures with participation from Laurion Capital Management, Communitas Capital, and existing investors. And Axoni has raised more than $110 million since its inception.
Axoni’s AxCore software synchronizes data across enterprises, which solves decades-old coordination problems between large companies. And by guaranteeing data is continually and automatically replicated in real-time with guaranteed accuracy and completeness, Axoni technology reduces cost, risk, and errors when moving trade data and other critical information between financial institutions. And with AxCore now deployed across various asset classes and markets, it is also standardizing the internalization of data, further reducing costs for institutions that can leverage existing familiarity with Axoni software.
Since being founded in 2017, Axoni’s client base has grown to include many of the world’s leading market infrastructure companies, asset managers, hedge funds, and global banks in the United States, Europe, and Asia. And Axoni’s mission-critical technology processes trillions of dollars of transactions annually across international markets.
Axoni software has been deployed or is in development in a wide range of markets, including:
– Cleared stock loan transactions at OCC (Options Clearing Corporation)
– Global credit derivatives in partnership with The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC)
– Global communications platform for primary issuance of corporate bonds in partnership with DirectBooks
– Global equity swaps in partnership with a consortium of leading market participants
– Global derivatives platform slated to launch in 2023
