Osaka Digital Exchange to launch security token PTS on December 25

The Osaka Digital Exchange (ODX) will commence the operation of “START”, their Proprietary Trading System (PTS) for security tokens, on December 25, 2023. The issues to be handled in START will be announced on the ODX website as they are approved after diligent examination.

ODX was established in April 2021, and launched its equity PTS in June 2022. In early November 2023, the ODX accepted equity participations by Cboe Worldwide Holdings, a subsidiary of Cboe Global Markets, Virtu Investments, a subsidiary of Virtu Financial, and Optiver PSI, a subsidiary of Optiver Holding.

Through collaboration with its new shareholders, ODX will obtain cutting-edge technology and expertise, allowing it to push ahead with innovative solutions. It is believed that ODX will be able to bring about changes in the financial markets to benefit investors.

Moreover, SBI Holdings, the 100% parent company of SBI PTS Holdings (PTSHD), which is the parent company of ODX, had previously announced a potential collaboration with Cboe in the field of traditional finance, such as PTS Business, as well as in the field of digital finance.
