Capitolis UK Approved to Operate an Organized Trading Facility (OTF) by the FCA

Approval unlocks more optimization opportunities and efficiencies for clients and network

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capitolis, the financial technology company, today announced that Capitolis UK Limited, a subsidiary of Capitolis Inc., has received regulatory approval to operate an Organized Trading Facility (OTF).

The approval to operate an OTF came from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), granted on February 10, 2026, and included authorization to operate as an investment firm as well.

In addition to the FCA’s OTF approval, on March 24, 2026, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) added the Capitolis UK OTF to its list of UK OTFs eligible for prior CFTC no-action relief, eliminating the need for CFTC SEF registration.

With these developments, Capitolis has brought two critical components of its regulatory infrastructure in‑house, establishing a strong foundation to unlock new client opportunities and enabling more efficient, streamlined execution for its expanding network.

“We are excited to have received these important authorizations,” said Gavin Jackson, Co-Head of Portfolio Optimization at Capitolis. “This capability allows us to engage more directly with our clients, support broader participation across our network, and deliver optimization opportunities with greater efficiency and seamless execution.”

Capitolis continues its mission to create safer and more vibrant financial markets and builds on strong momentum driven by new product launches, record business performance, an expanded client network, and key leadership appointments across its management team.
