Tickblaze Launches Nasdaq Real-Time Data to Support U.S. Equities Trading Infrastructure

OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tickblaze, a trading technology provider serving proprietary trading firms and professional market participants, today announced the launch of Nasdaq Basic, the leading exchange-provided alternative for Level 1 data, and Nasdaq TotalView depth data. This launch enables the integration of Nasdaq equity market data directly into the Tickblaze trading platform.

Through this integration, traders utilizing the Tickblaze platform can access Nasdaq® last sale and best bid and offer (top-of-book) market data and Nasdaq TotalView full depth-of-book data. The integration provides real-time, exchange-sourced U.S. equities data within the Tickblaze trading environment.

The U.S. equities market remains one of the largest and most active global trading ecosystems, with continued participation from retail traders, proprietary trading firms, and broker-dealers. As trading volumes and technology standards evolve, access to regulated exchange market data within compliant infrastructure remains a foundational requirement for market participants.

Under Tickblaze’s operating model, Nasdaq 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 Nasdaq market data to third-party firms; instead, data access is delivered directly to end users operating within the Tickblaze system.

This structure simplifies the operational framework for proprietary trading firms and broker partners. Firms utilizing Tickblaze are able to operate within an integrated platform where the exchange data component is centrally administered in alignment with Nasdaq requirements. This allows firms to focus on their trading and client operations while the regulated market data layer is managed within the Tickblaze environment.

“Nasdaq is a global leader in equities markets and technology innovation,” said Sean Kozak, Chief Executive Officer of Tickblaze. “Integrating Nasdaq Basic and TotalView market data into our platform strengthens our ability to support proprietary trading firms, brokers, and professional traders with infrastructure designed to meet modern market standards.”

The 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 equity-focused and multi-asset proprietary trading firms.
