    img

    Table of contents

    In today’s dynamic financial landscape, US broker-dealers face numerous challenges, from regulatory pressures to technological disruptions. The recent news of SpeedRoute ceasing operations as of February 28, 2025, has highlighted the importance of flexibility and resilience in trading infrastructure. Enter ETNA’s White Label Trading Platform – a game-changing solution that offers multi-custodian connectivity, advanced trading tools, and a unified back-office system.

    The Power of Multi-Custodian Connectivity

    ETNA’s platform stands out by allowing broker-dealers to connect with multiple clearing firms and execution venues simultaneously. This feature offers several critical advantages:

    1. Negotiation Power: With access to multiple providers, broker-dealers can leverage competition to secure better terms and pricing.
    2. Lower Deposit Requirements: By spreading business across multiple custodians, firms can potentially reduce overall deposit requirements.
    3. Business Continuity: As demonstrated by the SpeedRoute situation, having multiple connections ensures operations can continue smoothly if one provider faces issues.
    4. Tailored Solutions: Different custodians may offer specialized services for specific asset classes, allowing broker-dealers to optimize their offerings.

    Advanced Trading and Investor Advisor Platforms

    ETNA doesn’t just stop at connectivity. The platform offers:

    • A sophisticated trading interface for active traders
    • An Investor Advisor platform for wealth management
    • Mobile applications for on-the-go access
    • A unified back-office solution that ties everything together

    This comprehensive ecosystem enables broker-dealers to cater to diverse client needs while maintaining operational efficiency.

    Benefits for US Broker-Dealers

    Switching to ETNA’s platform offers numerous advantages:

    1. Reduced Operational Risk: Multi-custodian support mitigates the impact of any single provider’s issues.
    2. Enhanced Client Offerings: Advanced trading tools and wealth management features can attract and retain a broader client base.
    3. Operational Efficiency: A single back-office solution streamlines processes and reduces administrative overhead.
    4. Scalability: The platform’s architecture allows for easy growth as your business expands.
    5. Customization: White-label capabilities enable you to maintain your brand identity.
    6. Cost Savings: Negotiating power with multiple custodians can lead to reduced fees and better revenue-sharing agreements.

    The ETNA Advantage: A Closer Look

    ETNA’s platform supports integration with 10 clearing firms and 14 execution venues. Some notable supported clearing firms include:

    • Apex Clearing

    • Two Sigma Securities
