Tickblaze Establishes CME Futures Market Data Distribution Partnership to Support Futures Prop Trading Infrastructure

OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tickblaze, a trading technology provider serving proprietary trading firms and professional market participants, today announced the establishment of a market data distribution partnership enabling the integration of CME futures market data into the Tickblaze trading platform.

Through this integration, traders utilizing the Tickblaze platform can access CME Group Level 1 top-of-book pricing and Level 2 depth-of-market data across CME’s major futures product groups. The integration provides real-time, exchange-sourced futures data within the Tickblaze trading environment.

The futures proprietary trading sector has experienced substantial growth in recent years, with increasing participation from retail traders and firms expanding into CME-listed products. As participation in this segment has scaled, exchange data policies and reporting standards have evolved to reflect higher levels of oversight and compliance expectations.

Under Tickblaze’s operating model, CME market data is provisioned directly to traders on the platform. Tickblaze manages entitlement controls, reporting requirements, and compliance processes within its own infrastructure. The company does not distribute CME market data to third-party firms; instead, data access is delivered directly to end users inside the Tickblaze system.

This structure simplifies the operational framework for proprietary trading firms. Firms operating on Tickblaze are able to leverage an integrated platform where the exchange data component is centrally administered in alignment with CME requirements. This allows firms to focus on their trading operations while the regulated data layer is managed within the Tickblaze environment.

“CME Group operates the world’s leading derivatives marketplace,” said Sean Kozak, Chief Executive Officer of Tickblaze. “Integrating CME futures market data into our platform strengthens our ability to support proprietary trading firms and professional traders with infrastructure designed to operate within evolving exchange standards.”

The CME market data integration forms part of Tickblaze’s broader multi-asset infrastructure strategy. The company’s ecosystem combines professional trading terminals, integrated order management systems, exchange market data integrations, and back-office architecture tailored to proprietary trading workflows.

By consolidating these components within a single technology environment, Tickblaze aims to reduce vendor fragmentation and provide a scalable operational foundation for futures-focused and multi-asset proprietary trading firms.
