Wematch.live has received exemptive relief enabling the platform to formally service institutional clients in Canada.
The approval expands the firm's trading facilities to eligible Canadian institutional market participants, providing access to advanced execution capabilities, automated workflows, and collateral optimisation services across securities finance.
Additionally, the development builds on Wematch.live's existing US regulatory framework, which includes its US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-regulated security-based swap execution facility and alternative trading system.
According to the firm, the approval broadens access to its platform for Canadian institutional clients seeking trading, workflow, and collateral management solutions within securities finance markets.
The formal order granting exemptive relief is scheduled to be published in the Ontario Securities Commission bulletin on 12 November 2026.
Edward Hochstadter Jr, CEO at Wematch.live, says: “Expanding our regulatory footprint into Canada is a natural milestone for our institutional growth.
“While focused and measured in its initial market impact, this exemption enables us to seamlessly onboard and service institutional clients located in Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia who are looking for robust execution solutions.”
