Etrading Software Launches Free Bond Market Transparency Service

Etrading Software (ETS), the global regulatory data provider in the capital markets, today announces the launch of ETS Connect, a standalone regulatory data service offering real-time, normalised and cleansed feeds of European bond post-trade reports.

The service, branded ETS Connect, has been developed in response to the planned launch of the bond Consolidated Tapes (CT) in the UK and EU, expected in H1 2026. It is now available to bond market participants via the ETS Connect website and provides intraday bond transparency data from the EU and UK that is normalised, cleansed and supplemented by data quality flags and additional analytics. 

To address the current perceived low levels of data quality with publicly available data, ETS Connect operates a ‘traffic light’ data quality system to signal the potential for erroneous trades. It provides a unique combination of real post-trade data with value-adding analytics to provide additional insights to market participants. 

The service is future-proofed to work with the new transparency regimes in the UK and EU, expected in December 2025. Users of ETS Connect will be seamlessly upgraded to the new UK and EU transparency data on the first day of their availability and then upgraded again to access the new UK and EU bond CT data upon availability, expected in H1 2026. This approach enables market participants access to the new transparency data with minimal technical and contractual effort.

ETS Connect will remain free-to-use throughout 2025. 

Sassan Danesh, CEO of Etrading software, said: “We are delighted to play our part in increasing transparency in bond markets through the launch of ETS Connect. Our ‘consolidator of consolidators’ provides a single aggregated view of UK and EU markets today, even before the official launch of the respective Consolidated Tapes.”
